2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · DA18 YTC

This 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 15 June 2026 at 51,477 miles, indicating the vehicle is in a stable and roadworthy condition. The recent test result shows a clear improvement in maintenance standards, as the vehicle passed without any advisories, contrasting with the recurring brake and tyre issues noted in previous years. The absence of defects during the most recent inspection suggests the current owner has addressed the persistent component wear that characterised the earlier history. The vehicle has covered 51,477 miles over eight years, averaging approximately 6,435 miles annually. This usage pattern is consistent and suggests regular, moderate operation rather than extended periods of inactivity. The mileage accumulation has remained steady throughout the MOT history, with no significant gaps or excessive surges that would typically indicate heavy fleet use or long-term storage, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the brake discs and tyre condition, as these were frequent points of failure between 2022 and 2025. While the most recent test shows no issues, the recurring reports of pitted and scored brake discs suggest the vehicle may be prone to surface corrosion if left standing in damp conditions. Check the inner edges of the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, as this was flagged in 2022 and 2025, which can indicate underlying suspension geometry alignment issues. Ensure all seat belts function correctly and retract smoothly, as the presence of child seats during multiple inspections previously hindered a full assessment of the rear restraint systems.
