Mechanical Assessment
The Vauxhall Tigra passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-05-21 with a mileage of 35,540 miles. However, this test also revealed a minor leak of exhaust gases, a recurring issue that has been present since the 2025-06-12 test. Despite this, the overall trend in the vehicle's maintenance history appears stable, with no worsening of previously flagged issues. The vehicle's roadworthiness status is currently satisfactory, but the buyer should be aware of the ongoing exhaust leak. The recorded mileage of 35,540 miles, accumulated over approximately 17 years, is remarkably low, indicating either light use or extended periods of standing. There are no notable gaps in the mileage pattern, suggesting consistent use over the years. The average annual mileage of 2,091 miles is significantly lower than the average for its age, which may be a reflection of the vehicle's condition or maintenance history. The MOT records highlight several recurring faults that a buyer should inspect in person. The central exhaust system has been leaking exhaust gases since the 2024-05-22 test, suggesting a potential issue with the exhaust manifold or downpipe. Additionally, the rear tyres have been showing signs of damage or cracking since the 2024-05-23 test, which may indicate a problem with the suspension or steering alignment. The parking brake efficiency was also below requirements in the 2026-05-20 test, which may be related to worn brake pads or a faulty brake caliper.
