2019 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace SE NAV TDI 1.5L Petrol · GF19 KHA

This Volkswagen Tiguan has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness profile over the past two years, with no mechanical or structural faults recorded since the January 2024 test. The August 2025 MOT—conducted just 12 days apart—revealed only a minor advisory on the windscreen washer system, a trivial issue that does not compromise safety or structural integrity. The September 2022 failure, while notable, was confined to tyres and wiper functionality, both of which are easily addressable and unlikely to recur without neglect. The absence of advisories or defects in the most recent tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the recurring tyre issues warrant closer scrutiny. The recorded mileage of 27,571 miles over seven years—approximately 3,939 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2022 and 2024 MOTs (4,078 miles in 18 months) and the subsequent 6,175 miles covered in just 15 months before the latest test suggests periods of inactivity rather than consistent driving. Such low mileage can mask wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain fluids, which degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service records further complicates assessing long-term maintenance, but the stable pass rates imply no major overhauls were deferred. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres, particularly the nearside rear, which failed twice in 2022 for excessive cuts and perishing. The offside rear tyre also showed cracking in 2024, indicating potential neglect in tyre rotation or pressure monitoring. While the 2025 tests did not flag tyre issues, the pattern suggests a history of basic upkeep being overlooked. The windscreen wipers, which failed in 2022 and were only noted as an advisory in 2025, should be tested for proper operation in all weather conditions. Beyond these, the vehicle’s suspension, brake calipers, and structural underbody for corrosion should be examined, as these are not recorded in the MOT history but are critical for long-term reliability. The TDI engine’s emissions system and turbocharger health—common points of concern on this model—would also merit professional diagnostic attention, especially given the low mileage.
