Our Verdict
This is a strong buy for anyone seeking a near-new family SUV with an unblemished test history. The Volkswagen Tiguan registered DO07AKK has passed every MOT to date with no defects recorded, which is reassuring for a 2021 petrol model.
Given the clean MOT record, your main negotiation leverage should come from service history rather than test failures. Ask to see a full Volkswagen dealer or specialist service record confirming the 1.5 TSI engine's oil changes and scheduled cam-belt or interval checks, as these are not reflected in MOT data.
The 1.5-litre petrol Tiguan typically returns mid-30s to low-40s mpg in real-world mixed driving, keeping weekly fuel costs moderate for an SUV of this size. Vehicle Excise Duty for a 2021 petrol model in this emissions class is usually in the standard band, and insurance groups for the Tiguan sit in the mid-range for family crossovers.
No MOT failures or defect categories are present in the history for DO07AKK, so there are no test-flagged weak points to revisit. Nonetheless, inspect the grey paintwork for stone chips on the front end and check the 17,848 to 36,125-mile wear pattern on tyres and brakes given the mileage accumulation between 2024 and 2025.
The 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan in grey has covered 36,125 miles as of its most recent MOT on 31 December 2025, equating to roughly 7,200 miles per year. All three MOT tests conducted in 2024, 2025, and late 2025 show passes with no defects, indicating consistent upkeep. With a 1.5-litre petrol engine and first registration in May 2021, it presents as a low-risk, above-typical-care example of the model.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Volkswagen Tiguan to provide a model-wide comparison.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2021 model year cars.
- MQB Water Pump LeakModerate
Plastic housing warping causes slow coolant leaks.
- DSG Gearbox IssuesSerious
Both the DQ200 (dry clutch on 1.4/1.5 TSI) and DQ381 (wet clutch on 2.0 TDI) can develop problems. The DQ200 is more prone to mechatronic failure, while the DQ381 can suffer from clutch pack wear if not serviced at 40k-mile intervals.
- Air Conditioning Compressor FailureModerate
The AC compressor can develop a fault where it stops cooling or makes a grinding noise. On the Tiguan Mk2 this often manifests between 50,000 and 80,000 miles, sometimes caused by a leak in the refrigerant circuit.
