2019 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Tech TDI 2.0L Diesel · AW19 UNX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on July 6, 2026, at 60,861 miles. This test identified a minor advisory regarding a cut on the offside rear tyre that did not reach the structural cords. However, the overall maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the vehicle held clean records in earlier years, recent history of brake-related failures indicates that the owner is waiting for components to fail before performing necessary repairs. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The record shows steady usage between 26,538 miles in July 2022 and 60,861 miles in July 2026. The jump of 7,855 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests a regular driving habit rather than long periods of standing. This mileage level is generally low for a diesel Tiguan, which typically sees higher figures, suggesting less wear on the suspension bushings and brake components. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The history shows a recurring issue with pitted and scored front brake discs which were flagged in 2024 and 2025. The vehicle also failed the July 2025 test due to rear brake pads reaching the 1.5mm thickness limit, which were subsequently replaced before the immediate retest. It is vital to verify that the front discs were actually replaced alongside the pads, as leaving new pads on scored discs will lead to premature uneven wear. Additionally, the condition of the offside rear tyre mentioned in the latest test should be monitored to ensure the cut has not progressed.
