2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · GC18 HMH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 14,279 miles with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend is stable, though the records indicate a period of neglect regarding consumables between 2024 and 2025. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,785 miles per year. The distance covered between the July 2024 test at 10,903 miles and the July 2025 test at 12,865 miles shows a steady increase of 1,962 miles. Such low usage often suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which frequently leads to the specific types of degradation seen in this history. The MOT record reveals a recurring issue with the front brake discs. The tester flagged them as worn, pitted, or scored in July 2024 and again in July 2025. This pattern, combined with the July 2025 advisory for perishing front tyres and a slightly split tyre in July 2022, strongly suggests that the vehicle suffered from age-related deterioration rather than wear from use. Pitting on brake discs is a common symptom of cars left standing in damp conditions where surface corrosion takes hold. A buyer should verify that the front brake discs and tyres were actually replaced following the July 2025 advisories, as the March 2026 clean sheet suggests they may have been. Given the low mileage and evidence of perishing rubber, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of all tyre sidewalls and the operation of the braking system to ensure no calipers have seized due to inactivity.
