2020 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.5L Petrol · AF20 OAV

The vehicle currently presents a positive roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 3 February 2026 at 40,961 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that any previous minor issues have been addressed. This transition from advisories in 2025 to a clean sheet suggests the current owner is proactive in maintaining safety-critical components. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 18,907 miles and March 2025 at 35,376 miles, the car covered 16,469 miles, showing a steady annual usage rate. There is no evidence of long periods of standing or sudden spikes in mileage, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and seals compared to high-mileage or neglected-use vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and tyre alignment. The 2025 test at 35,376 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. While these were likely replaced before the 2026 test, recurring edge wear often indicates a wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Verifying the current tyre set for uneven wear is necessary to ensure the fault has not persisted. The history shows only minor consumable failures, such as a defective wiper blade in early 2023. There are no records of structural corrosion, brake binding issues, or exhaust emission failures in the provided history. Given the low mileage and the recent clean MOT, the mechanical integrity of the vehicle appears sound, provided the service history matches the intervals seen between these tests.
