2012 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Petrol · BW12 DGV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 08 May 2026 at 55,541 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This continues a clean streak spanning the last five years, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical and structural failures typically seen in SUVs of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between October 2022 and August 2023, where the car covered only 10 miles, followed by a more consistent usage pattern of roughly 4,000 miles between 2023 and 2024, and another 4,000 miles between June 2024 and May 2025. This low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it also raises questions regarding component degradation due to long periods of standing. Despite the clean record, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for specific issues associated with low-mileage aging. Rubber-based components such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls may perish or crack regardless of the distance travelled. The buyer should also check the brake discs for corrosion or seizing, as infrequent use often leads to surface rust and sticking calipers. While the MOT history shows no structural integrity issues, a physical inspection of the chassis remains necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed during the periods of stationary use.
