2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Elegance TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · GC21 DTO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful pass in September 2025 at 39,563 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improvement after a significant failure in early August 2025. While the car initially failed with critical safety and suspension defects, the subsequent consecutive passes within the same month indicate that the previous owner addressed the mechanical faults immediately to bring the vehicle back to a legal standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. There is a notable cluster of activity between July 2024 at 30,186 miles and August 2025, where the car covered nearly 9,400 miles in a short period. This suggests the vehicle was either used more frequently during this interval or underwent intensive testing prior to the recent failures. The overall low mileage suggests limited wear on the drivetrain and interior components compared to higher-mile examples. A buyer must focus specifically on the front suspension to ensure the serious fluid leaks reported on both nearside and offside shock absorbers have been fully rectified with replacement units rather than temporary repairs. The failure regarding the supplementary restraint system warning lamp also requires a physical check of the airbag control module and sensors to ensure the fault is cleared and not recurring. Given the sudden nature of these repairs, a thorough inspection for any remaining signs of fluid leakage or electronic fault codes is necessary to confirm the quality of the work performed.
