2020 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.5L Petrol · GF70 WUA

The 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean pass on 27 December 2025 at 62,183 miles with zero defects recorded. That outcome is a significant improvement over the 2023 test cycle, where multiple tyre and brake advisories appeared. The most recent certificate, issued roughly six months ago relative to today, confirms the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at its current mileage with no outstanding concerns. The mileage accumulation sits at roughly 10,364 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, moderate use rather than prolonged standing or extreme daily covering. The record shows a gap between October 2023 at 36,270 miles and November 2024 at 48,975 miles, representing approximately 12,705 miles over thirteen months. That is a reasonable rate of use. The subsequent jump to 62,183 miles by December 2025 adds a further 13,208 miles in just over twelve months, indicating the vehicle has been driven more actively in the most recent period. No unusual gaps or suspicious mileage reversals appear in the dataset. A buyer conducting an in-person inspection should focus on the rear brake system and tyre condition, as these were the primary areas of concern in the October 2023 cycle. Both nearside and offside rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin during that test, and while the subsequent passes suggest replacement was carried out, verifying pad thickness and disc condition on the rear axle remains prudent. The tyre wear pattern from 2023 showed uneven wear on inner edges, particularly on the offside rear, which can indicate misalignment or worn suspension bushes. A thorough check of the rear suspension geometry, including tracking and bush condition, would be wise. The split wiper blade noted in the failed 2023 test has clearly been rectified, but confirming the current wiper condition and washer operation takes little effort. Given the clean December 2025 result, no structural corrosion or exhaust defects appear to be active concerns at this stage.
