2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · FL67 MYB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the Tiguan passed its test in October 2025 at 46,140 miles, the tester flagged pitted front brake discs and perishing on both rear tyres. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that components are now beginning to age and degrade despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage profile is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. Between November 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 18,919 miles, showing a steady but light pattern of use rather than high-intensity commuting. This low usage often leads to dry-related issues with rubber components and aged fluids, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted on the tyres in both the 2021 and 2025 tests. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system, as the scored and pitted front discs from the 2025 test indicate they are nearing replacement life to ensure optimal stopping performance. The recurring issues with tyre condition, ranging from sidewall damage in 2021 to age-related perishing in 2025, suggest the vehicle may have sat for long periods or that the owner neglected rubber upkeep. Additionally, verify the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from environmental degradation of these parts rather than mechanical wear.
