2023 Volkswagen Taigo Life TSI S-A 1.0L Petrol · J16 CHS

The Volkswagen Tiguan passed its most recent MOT on 1 August 2025 at 80,680 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The only blemish is a failed test on 30 July 2025 at the same mileage, where the tester logged no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a roadworthiness concern. A prior failure on 15 July 2023 at 66,064 miles also recorded no defects, with a pass two days later at 66,102 miles. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,085 miles per year. The record shows 66,102 miles at the July 2023 test, rising to 74,616 miles by August 2024 and 80,680 miles by August 2025. The annual increments of around 8,500 and 6,000 miles indicate consistent private or light-use motoring with no sudden high-mileage bursts or prolonged standing periods. The data is sparse and clean, with no consumable wear or structural items ever noted by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unblemished defect record. The absence of advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion across five tests does not confirm component condition, only that nothing breached test thresholds on the day. The twin zero-defect failures in July 2023 and July 2025 warrant a check of the test centre paperwork to confirm no suppressed findings exist. Focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers, as these are common Tiguan wear points not captured by a clean MOT. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the repeated no-defect failures hint at loose record-keeping rather than neglect of mechanical care.
