2020 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN1.5L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 1 September 2025 at 48,370 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The record shows a clean pass in the most recent test, suggesting that previous mechanical concerns have been managed effectively. While the presence of a child seat prevented a full inspection of the rear seatbelt during the last examination, the overall trend is positive, shifting from minor suspension advisories in early 2024 to a defect-free status in the subsequent two inspections. Accumulating 48,370 miles over six years results in an average of approximately 8,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The mileage progression remains consistent across the recorded history, showing no evidence of long-term storage or excessive high-intensity use. The gap between the January 2024 and September 2024 tests suggests a period of moderate usage, and the current mileage reading suggests the vehicle has seen very little road time since the most recent pass ten months ago. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, specifically the lower control arm rear bushes. Although these were flagged as worn in January 2024 at 40,342 miles, they did not reach the threshold for failure at that time. Given the vehicle age and the nature of these components, verify if these bushes have been replaced or if they are showing signs of degradation. A test drive should include listening for any knocking or clonking noises from the front end when traversing uneven surfaces or speed humps, as this will confirm the integrity of the suspension arm mounts.
