2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · DA67 HMF

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 79,245 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The upkeep pattern shows consistency rather than deterioration, with no advisories or recurring mechanical faults flagged across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,800 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle of this class. The records show steady accumulation: 36,119 miles in October 2022, 45,690 miles in October 2023, 62,347 miles in October 2024, and 79,245 miles in October 2025. No abrupt jumps or dormant periods appear. The only anomaly is a failed test on 21 October 2022 at 36,085 miles, retested and passed seven days later at 36,119 miles with no defects listed, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive fault. Given the clean MOT sequence, the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided tyre, brake, suspension, or corrosion advisories. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not captured by the MOT, notably brake disc wear, suspension bush condition, and underbody structural integrity for rust. The absence of recorded faults does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation invisible to the annual test. The 2022 failure with no defects recorded warrants a check of the original refusal reason via DVSA channels, though the immediate pass implies resolution. Overall, the documentary evidence supports a sound purchase subject to routine pre-sale verification of mechanical wear not listed in the MOT dataset.
