2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Petrol · BA10 ARN

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 51,850 miles showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in October 2024 at 48,384 miles, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently operating within acceptable parameters. The absence of advisories in the last two years indicates a period of consistent upkeep. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 5,185 miles per year. Between the June 2019 test at 17,724 miles and the December 2020 test at 31,488 miles, the vehicle covered 13,764 miles, which is a higher annual average than seen in more recent years. Since 2020, the annual mileage has decreased, which aligns with the low total of 51,850 miles recorded today. This pattern of light usage can sometimes lead to issues with components like batteries or seals due to infrequent operation, though the MOT record does not currently flag any such concerns. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system, as the record shows a recurring trend of wear in that area. The tester flagged thin rear brake pads in December 2021 at 35,096 miles and subsequently noted worn, pitted, or scored rear brake discs in December 2022 at 40,466 miles. While the 2023 and 2024 tests show these issues were resolved, it is prudent to check the current thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs to ensure the recent maintenance has been maintained. Given the low mileage and the history of tyre wear noted in December 2020, a thorough check of the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition is advised. Although no suspension or structural corrosion issues have appeared in the records, the low annual usage warrants a visual inspection of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and drive belts, to ensure they have not perished from age rather than wear.
