2020 Volkswagen Tiguan Match TSI EVO S-A 1.5L Petrol · CK20 VBV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred repairs and consumable neglect. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 70,116 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior involving multiple tyre and suspension issues. The presence of worn lower suspension arm bushes on both front corners indicates that the suspension geometry is beginning to show signs of degradation. The illuminated TPMS warning lamp noted in the 2026 pass suggests a sensor fault or a persistent pressure issue that has not yet been addressed despite the recent inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with average UK usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles annually. There is a significant jump of 17,139 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 19,337 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady accumulation explains the increasing wear observed on tyres and suspension components. The clean record from 2024 at 33,640 miles suggests the vehicle was previously in a good state, but the recent frequency of advisories and failures indicates the vehicle is now entering a phase requiring more proactive maintenance. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension system, as the worn bushes flagged in 2026 will likely require replacement soon to prevent uneven tyre wear. The recurring history of tyre-related faults, including cuts, cracks, and nails recorded in both 2025 and 2026, suggests a pattern of ignoring minor defects until they reach failure thresholds. You should also verify the condition of the brake discs, as pitting and scoring were noted in 2023, and ensure the TPMS system is functional to prevent the warning light from failing to report actual pressure loss.
