2019 Volkswagen Tiguan Match TSI EVO 1.5L Petrol · DU69 ABX

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test. On 23 May 2025 at 24,758 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across its five tests is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults at any stage. The earlier failure on the same date at identical mileage carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a 2019 registration. The record shows 11,464 miles in August 2022, rising to 14,575 by June 2023, 19,239 by June 2024, and 24,758 by May 2025. That averages roughly 3,500 miles per year. Such low use over seven years suggests prolonged standing periods, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglect in statutory inspection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage vehicles left idle often develop perished rubber components and binding brakes through lack of movement. The absence of corrosion or exhaust advisories in the record is favourable, but standing moisture exposure can hide structural rust not caught in a pass test. Given the sparse but clean MOT data, focus the viewing on underbody condition, tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear, and confirmation that the May 2025 failure was clerical. The previous owner maintained statutory compliance; no recurring faults imply deeper mechanical risk.
