2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · AD11 KEZ

The Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line presents a stable and entirely positive maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass during the most recent MOT on 9 June 2025 at 17,721 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, advisories, or failures, indicating that all major mechanical and structural systems met the required roadworthiness standards at that time. Given the absence of any recorded faults, the vehicle demonstrates a consistently maintained condition rather than a pattern of deterioration. The recorded mileage of 17,721 miles over a four-year period equates to an annual average of roughly 4,430 miles, which falls significantly below the typical UK average. This low utilization suggests the vehicle spent considerable time stationary or used exclusively for short, infrequent journeys. The MOT history is notably sparse, containing only the single test from June 2025, which is expected given the vehicle's age and the three-year initial MOT requirement. The lack of earlier test entries prevents the identification of any rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged gaps in the maintenance record prior to 2025. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer must inspect components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged stationary periods rather than high mileage wear. Low annual mileage often correlates with incomplete warm-up cycles, which can cause moisture accumulation within the exhaust system and engine oil, potentially leading to premature corrosion. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the brake discs for surface rust, the suspension bushes for perishing, and the tyres for flat-spotting or sidewall cracking, as these parts degrade from standing just as readily as they do from driving. Verifying the structural integrity of the underbody and exhaust for corrosion remains prudent given the vehicle's light usage profile.
