2022 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · AO71 NXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a consistent failure to address consumable wear. In the most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 38,098 miles, the vehicle passed despite recurring advisories for both the nearside and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This mirrors the findings from the previous year, suggesting a persistent pattern of neglected maintenance regarding tyre replacement. The mileage profile is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Between the February 2025 test at 29,800 miles and the February 2026 test at 38,098 miles, the car covered 8,298 miles. This steady accumulation suggests typical usage patterns rather than heavy strain on the drivetrain, though the interval between tests remains standard for annual mechanical inspections. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry and artwork alignment, as the repeated edge-wear noted on both rear tyres across two consecutive years indicates a potential tracking issue, worn bushes, or incorrect camber. It is also advisable to check the remaining life of the rear brake pads and discs, as the documented history shows the owner may be delaying replacements until they reach a critical threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance.
