2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · CF18 VBB

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on June 10 2026, at 66,433 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a shift toward stability following a period of tyre-related issues in previous years. The absence of failures in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner has addressed the mechanical and consumable concerns identified in earlier tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a modern SUV, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between the June 2022 test at 23,258 miles and the May 2025 test at 52,189 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 29,000 miles, indicating a steady usage profile. The recent interval of 14,244 miles over the last year shows a slight increase in activity, but it remains within a range that would not suggest accelerated wear on drivetrain or rubber components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the tyres and wheels, as the history reveals a recurring pattern of poor maintenance. In May 2024 at 41,178 miles, both front tyres were at the 2mm limit, and by May 2025 at 52,189 miles, a rear tyre was also at 2mm while the opposite side showed uneven centre wear. This specific wear pattern often indicates incorrect inflation pressures or an alignment issue, which should be verified to prevent premature replacement of new rubber. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the age of the vehicle warrants a check of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the mileage and age, inspecting for perished rubber components in the control arms or leaking dampers is prudent. The clean 2026 result is positive, but the previous history of low tread depth suggests the previous owner only replaces consumables when they reach legal limits rather than proactively.
