2021 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · GL 323

The vehicle remains roadworthy. The most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 33,629 miles passed with only a single consumable issue: the front brake pads are wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). Earlier tests in June 2025 and June 2024 reported no defects, indicating a stable maintenance pattern with no escalating mechanical concerns. Mileage figures show a consistent annual average of roughly 6,726 miles. From 24,696 miles in June 2024 to 28,510 miles in June 2025, the car accumulated 3,814 miles, a modest figure for a yearly interval. The subsequent year saw 5,119 miles added, slightly higher but still within normal limits. The gaps between tests are one year apart, providing a clear view of the vehicle’s usage trend. No sudden spikes or unusually high mileage bursts appear in the record. A prospective buyer should focus on the front brake system, inspecting pad wear, brake disc condition, and caliper function. Tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity warrant examination, as do the wiper blades and their mounting hardware. The suspension bushings and coil springs should be checked for cracking or excessive play, and the chassis inspected for corrosion or structural damage. Although the MOT report did not flag any binding brakes or emission issues, verifying exhaust integrity and checking the vehicle’s overall structural soundness are prudent steps. Overall, the vehicle’s MOT history suggests reliable upkeep with only routine consumable wear. The front brake pads are the main point of attention, and a detailed inspection of the braking, suspension, and bodywork will confirm the car’s continued roadworthiness. Maintaining the current service schedule and addressing the noted pad wear promptly will preserve the vehicle’s performance and safety.
