2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · AP67 JDK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 08 March 2022 at 35,997 miles returned a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle was maintained to a high standard prior to its last inspection, with no immediate mechanical or structural failures identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between the March 2021 test at 25,631 miles and the March 2022 test at 35,997 miles, the car covered 10,366 miles in a single year, which represents a spike in its overall average. However, the four-year gap in records since the 2022 test suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods or has not undergone a formal DVSA inspection recently. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of components susceptible to age and sitting rather than just mileage. Low mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and split hoses, as well as surface corrosion on brake discs and calipers from lack of use. The buyer must check for flat spots on tyres and ensure the braking system is not seized despite the low recorded distance. Since the last MOT is now four years old, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unverified and requires a fresh inspection before any purchase.
