2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · FP17 PXM

The vehicle presents a stable and highly favourable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass just four months ago. The most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 59,371 miles recorded zero defects, indicating the Tiguan currently meets all roadworthiness standards without any advisories. A prior test on 13 March 2025 at 52,224 miles shows a failed attempt followed immediately by a pass with no defects, suggesting a minor rectification was carried out on the same day. The absence of recurring faults or advisories across the entire history points to a vehicle that has been kept in sound mechanical order by its keepers. The annual mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical domestic use for a vehicle of this age. Between the February 2023 test at 33,056 miles and the March 2024 test at 44,087 miles, the Tiguan covered 11,031 miles over thirteen months. The subsequent year saw a reduction in usage, with 8,137 miles added between March 2024 and March 2025. Usage dropped further to 7,147 miles over the following twelve months. Most notably, the odometer has not moved at all since the March 2026 test, sitting static at 59,371 miles for the past four months. This recent stagnation could indicate the vehicle has been standing idle, which warrants attention to potential issues like brake disc corrosion or tyre flat-spotting. Given the entirely clean MOT record, there are no recurring structural or mechanical red flags to investigate. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection to verify the condition implied by the paperwork. Focus on the undercarriage and suspension components, checking for corrosion on brake discs and coil springs resulting from the recent period of inactivity. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear or cracking, as low annual mileage and prolonged standing can degrade rubber. Test the exhaust emissions under cold start to ensure the engine breathes cleanly, and verify the operation of all suspension bushes and shock absorbers for any perishing that might not yet constitute an MOT failure but could indicate aging.
