2020 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · AF70 HUP

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive rather. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 60,501 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically compliant, the owner is neglecting basic consumables until they reach critical thresholds. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2023 test at 38,676 miles and the September 2024 test at 51,413 miles, the car covered 12,737 miles, representing active usage. The subsequent 9,088 miles covered in the following year shows a slight decrease in annual frequency. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components compared to long periods of standing. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment in person, as the edge wear noted on the nearside front tyre in 2025 often points to incorrect tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes. While the presence of central undertrays as noted in 2024 suggests some level of protection against road debris, a physical check for mounting corrosion on the undercarriage remains necessary. The history shows no structural defects or brake failures, so the focus should remain on the wear patterns of the tyres and associated suspension components.
