2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FV17 WSY

The 2026‑05‑12 MOT passed the 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan at 29,153 miles, confirming current roadworthiness despite a worn, pitted front brake disc that did not breach the seriousness threshold. The series of annual tests from 2020 onward shows a stable maintenance pattern, with each inspection resolving previous tyre defects and noting only minor brake wear, indicating no worsening of mechanical condition. At roughly 3,200 miles per year the vehicle’s odometer reflects light usage, and the gap between the 2020‑06‑19 six‑month extension and the subsequent 2020‑07‑28 test is negligible, while each succeeding test records a modest increase of about 2,600‑3,000 miles, consistent with regular but low‑intensity driving. No large mileage spikes appear in the record, and the yearly increments remain within a narrow band, suggesting the owner has kept the car in regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore prioritize a close examination of the front brake assembly, looking for caliper binding, uneven disc wear and the condition of the inner surface beyond the visible pitting, and verify that the tyre sidewall perishing noted in 2023 and 2022 has been fully remedied, checking tread depth and sidewall integrity. The suspension bushes, coil springs and structural areas around the wheel arches should also be inspected for corrosion or fatigue, as these components have not been flagged but may reveal hidden wear.
