VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2019 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on January 12 2026 at 86,286 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory compared to previous years, as the recurring issues with tyres and brakes have been resolved in the latest clean report. This suggests that the current owner has addressed the mechanical and consumable concerns that surfaced during earlier inspections. The mileage accumulation has accelerated significantly in the latter half of the vehicle's life. Between February 2022 and January 2023, the car covered only 5,558 miles, yet the usage surged to 27,392 miles in the following year and another 16,073 miles prior to the January 2026 test. This average of approximately 12,300 miles per year is high for a seven-year-old Tiguan, which places greater operational stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment given the consistent history of uneven tyre wear. The 2022, 2024, and 2025 records all flagged tyres worn on the edges or reaching the legal limit, which often indicates worn suspension bushes, shocks, or incorrect tracking. Additionally, while the 2024 advisory for thin rear brake pads was cleared, the high mileage justifies checking the current state of the discs and pads to ensure they are not thinning prematurely or binding.
