2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Active TSI 1.5L Petrol · D2 SNY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 12, 2026, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than preventative approach. While the most recent test was successful, the car failed just eight days prior at 26,405 miles due to a non-functional offside side repeater and perished rear tyres. This recent failure suggests that the owner only addresses defects once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing routine visual safety checks. The mileage profile is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase of 4,910 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, followed by another 6,859 miles in the final twelve months. This low usage often correlates with short urban trips or long periods of inactivity, which explains the premature degradation of rubber-based components as seen with the cracking and perishing of the tyres in the 2026 tests. A buyer must specifically inspect the physical condition of all tyres, as the record shows recurring issues with uneven wear and material failure. The June 2024 advisory regarding front tyres being worn close to the legal limit on the edge suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require investigation. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check brake discs for surface corrosion or seizing, as vehicles that sit frequently often suffer from oxidation on the braking system despite low use.
