2021 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Petrol · AE71 BHP

The vehicle currently holds a technically roadworthy status based on its single MOT record, though the maintenance trend remains neutral due to a lack of recent data. The initial test performed on 1 September 2021 at 19 miles showed no defects. Since no subsequent tests have been recorded, there is no evidence to determine if the mechanical condition has stabilized or deteriorated over the last five years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately four miles per year. The recorded 19 miles at the time of the 2021 test suggest the car spent the majority of its life stationary. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, extended inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts, fluid breakdown, and surface corrosion on metal surfaces that are not exercised. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to address the risks associated with prolonged storage. Focus should be placed on the brake discs for corrosion and seized calipers, as these often fail when a vehicle is not driven regularly. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, which are common symptoms of low-mileage sitting. Given the gap in MOT history, the suspension bushes and linkages should be inspected for signs of perishability or rot that occur despite the low mechanical wear.
