2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Active TSI 1.5L Petrol · CY71 LGX

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 December 2025 at 22,033 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 10 January 2025 at 16,548 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories or failures indicate the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA roadworthiness criteria. The recorded mileage shows light use for a four-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2025 test at 16,548 miles and the December 2025 test at 22,033 miles, the keeper covered only 5,485 miles across eleven months. Over the car's life this averages roughly 5,508 miles per year, well below typical private-use figures. The sparse two-entry history gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals, though the low standing mileage means fluids, brake calipers, and tyres may have aged more than they have worn. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low mileage combined with possible long stationary periods can allow brake discs to develop surface corrosion and suspension bushes to stiffen without showing in an MOT. The tester raised no structural integrity, exhaust emissions, or coil spring concerns, so no recurring fault pattern exists to target. Verify service history against the low mileage and confirm tyre manufacture dates, as rubber degradation from age outweighs tread wear at this usage level. The absence of advisories suggests diligent upkeep, but in-person checks on binding calipers and underbody condition remain sound practice before purchase.
