2019 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Tech TDI 4M SA 2.0L Diesel · BW63 BOW

The vehicle achieved a PASS at the July 2026 test, 81 826 miles, but the tester recorded front tyre wear close to the legal limit on both sides (5.2.3 (e)). The preceding four annual tests (July 2021‑2025) showed no defects after a brief failure in October 2022 when the supplementary restraint system warning lamp was active (7.1.6 (a)). The pattern indicates the mechanical condition has stabilised, while tyre wear remains a persistent issue. Mileage progression is steady: from 16 414 miles in October 2021 to 81 826 miles in July 2026, averaging roughly 14‑18 k miles per year. The two‑day gap between the failed and passed tests in October 2022 at the same mileage suggests a rapid retest after the SRS fault was rectified. Overall, the mileage aligns with typical use for a seven‑year‑old SUV. A prospective buyer should inspect the front tyres for tread depth and edge wear, verify the supplementary restraint system operation, and examine suspension bushes and brake components for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. The recurring tyre advisories imply that basic tyre maintenance may have been neglected, while the brief SRS fault highlights the need for a functional airbag and belt pretensioner check.
