2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · AF54 NDA

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 May 2025 at 55,842 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual or near-annual tests from October 2022 through May 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed entry logged on 7 October 2022 at 39,735 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects recorded and an immediate pass on the same date, indicating a administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 6,205 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 39,735 miles in October 2022, 46,201 by October 2023, 49,350 by May 2024, and 55,842 by May 2025. A thirteen-month gap separates the October 2023 and May 2024 tests, but the low added mileage of 3,149 miles over that period confirms light use. The sparse, defect-free history suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current without deferred work. No advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the record. The clean sweep implies the chassis and drivetrain have avoided the wear trends common on higher-mileage Tiguans. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and brake caliper operation, since MOT passes at low mileage can mask surface rust or binding not yet at test threshold. Given the faultless trajectory and modest yearly use, the vehicle shows no recurring mechanical pattern requiring corrective action. Verify service history matches the odometer and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition at handover, as these consumables fall outside MOT defect capture when within limits.
