2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Petrol · DA18 YER

The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 April 2026 at 33,213 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage of 33,213 over roughly eight years equates to about 4,152 miles per year, marking the car as low-use for its age. The DVSA data shows steady, light accumulation: 23,317 miles on 4 May 2022, 27,340 on 9 April 2024, 29,710 on 19 March 2025, and 33,213 on 1 April 2026. A duplicate entry exists for 4 May 2022 where the vehicle first failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage, though no defects were listed under either outcome, suggesting an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No long dormant gaps appear beyond the 2022 to 2024 interval. Given the absence of any advisories or recorded defects across the tests, the Tiguan shows no recurring wear trend in suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion. The clean record implies prior owners kept basic consumables and structural items within limits, though low annual mileage can mask degraded rubber components or surface rust from prolonged standing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity, brake caliper freedom, and tyre sidewall condition, as MOT passes at low mileage do not capture gradual perishing. Verify the 2022 duplicate failure cause with DVSA to rule out a suppressed defect, then confirm service history matches the light-use profile.
