2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · AP18 ABO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 26 June 2025 at 43,398 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This stable trend of perfect passes across the last five years suggests the vehicle has remained in good mechanical condition and has not suffered from recurring faults or structural degradation common in older SUVs. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,425 miles per year. Between the July 2024 test at 39,608 miles and the June 2025 test at 43,398 miles, the car covered 3,790 miles, indicating consistent light usage. This low annual mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain components, brake assemblies, and suspension bushings, though it can sometimes lead to rubber-based components degrading if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT record shows no history of mechanical failures or corrosion advisories, a physical inspection should focus on items associated with low-mileage use. A buyer should check for dry cracking on tyre sidewalls and perished rubber bushes, which can occur due to age regardless of distance driven. Examine the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as low-frequency use often prevents the pads from effectively cleaning the rotors. The lack of recorded faults suggests a well-maintained example that has likely avoided the structural stress typical of higher-mileage counterparts.
