Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a clean pass on October 8 2025 where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory compared to previous years, as the vehicle transitioned from failing tests in 2023 and 2024 to two consecutive clean passes without advisories. This shift suggests that the mechanical or structural issues identified in earlier inspections were addressed and rectified to bring the car up to testing standards. At 82,401 miles, the 13-year-old Tiguan averages approximately 6,339 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a significant cluster of testing activity between March 2023 and September 2024, where the vehicle underwent three tests in a short window. The relatively low annual mileage suggests limited wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid oxidation. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, as the provided data does not specify the exact mechanical reasons for those declines. Given the age of the vehicle, focus should be placed on checking for structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and subframe, as these are common in this model. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and brake calipers is also necessary to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in dry rot or seized components over time. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
