Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers se
Given the clean MOT history, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the 1.5L petrol engine has received regular oil changes. While the MOTs show no defects, you should ask for proof of any scheduled maintenance performed between the annual inspections.
When viewing the car, check the condition of the tyres and brake pads. Although this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, these are the most common failure points for this model aggregate, so ensuring they have plenty of tread and life remaining is a sensible precaution.
The 1498cc petrol engine is designed for a balance of performance and efficiency, typically sitting in a moderate insurance group for a mid-sized SUV. As a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it is ULEZ/CAZ compliant, which helps avoid daily charges in many UK cities.
Maintenance costs for a Volkswagen are generally predictable but can be higher than non-premium brands. Expect typical servicing costs to align with standard manufacturer intervals. Based on the mileage, you should budget for routine consumables like brake discs and pads in the near future.
Since the MOT history for GP21MBU shows zero defects, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures to investigate on this particular unit. However, you should remain mindful of the aggregate data for the Tiguan, which highlights tyres, brake pads, and shock absorbers as the most frequent MOT failure reasons.
Inspect the suspension components and shock absorbers carefully, as well as the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, also check for any signs of uneven tyre wear which could indicate alignment issues.
Registered in July 2021, this black Volkswagen Tiguan Elegance TSI S-A has covered 33,556 miles as of its last test in July 2026.

Compared to the model average of 7,845 annual miles, this vehicle has been driven slightly more than the typical example in this dataset.
The Tiguan model shows a high average MOT pass rate of 92.2% across 6,655 analysed vehicles.
