Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Volkswagen Tiguan passed its most recent MOT on 10 April 2026 at 174,229 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the last three years is stable with no advisories or recurring faults flagged. The vehicle carries a clean test history from 2023 through 2026, showing consistent annual compliance and no worsening mechanical condition in the official record. Mileage stands at 174,229 on an April 2026 test, against 163,164 in April 2025 and 150,443 in March 2024. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 13,000 miles added per year, in line with the 12,445 annual average for its age. The March 2025 failure at 162,939 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating the car was presented early and passed twelve days later at 163,164 miles rather than suffering a genuine fault. No long dormant periods or abrupt accumulation spikes appear in the data. Given the sparse and clean MOT record, no specific suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion issues are flagged for the buyer to chase. The high total mileage of 174,229 means in-person checks should still cover consumable wear not captured by the test, such as tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody rust on a 14-year-old chassis. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm the absence of latent wear the MOT does not record.
