2023 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Edition TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · DC72 AZF

The Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Edition passed its most recent MOT on 17 March 2026 at 35,818 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently sound roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend appears stable given the clean result, though the preceding test on 4 March 2026 at the identical mileage failed with no defects logged, a pattern suggesting an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly three years old this vehicle shows a consistent and unremarkable history with no advisories or recurring mechanical concerns across the supplied entries. The recorded mileage of 35,818 miles against the vehicle's 2023 build equates to approximately 11,939 miles per year, a figure in line with typical use for this age of car. Both MOT entries from March 2026 share the same odometer reading, confirming no accrual between the failed and passed tests. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing periods, and the absence of any prior tests implies either a short ownership span or late first presentation, with no evidence of neglected consumable wear such as tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean pass. The unexplained failure at 35,818 miles on 4 March 2026 warrants verification of the test centre documentation to rule out latent issues with emissions, braking balance, or structural integrity not captured in the advisory field. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for early wear consistent with the low annual mileage, and confirm the exhaust system is free from corrosion. The identical mileage across both March tests means no mechanical trend can be judged beyond the final clean result.
