2021 Volkswagen Tiguan R TSI 4MOTION S-A 2.0L Petrol · KP71 ABX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 19 June 2025 at the recorded mileage, and the prior test on 10 September 2024 also returned a pass. With no advisories, failures, or component defects logged across either recorded examination, the documented roadworthiness trend is, on the face of it, stable, showing no recorded deterioration or repeat mechanical concerns. The absence of any flagged items on the two most recent tests suggests that, from a regulatory standpoint at the time of testing, the vehicle met the minimum statutory requirements for the items the MOT scheme covers. Annual mileage is sitting at around 7,495 miles per year over the five-year period from registration to mid-2025, which is broadly typical for a modern family SUV of this age and segment. Between the September 2024 test and the June 2025 test, roughly 5,900 miles appear to have been covered in nine months, a steady rate consistent with regular rather than sporadic use. The mileage gap between the two recorded tests is relatively modest, and the absence of any advisories on either occasion means there is nothing in the data to indicate abnormal wear accumulation, standing-time deterioration, or extended periods of disuse. Buyers should nevertheless be aware that MOT records only confirm point-in-time compliance on the date of test; they do not establish that interim servicing, cambelt changes, or other routine maintenance have been carried out. Because no specific components were flagged, there are no advisories or defect codes to act as predictive indicators for a buyer. A physical inspection should nevertheless focus on the areas the MOT does not assess in depth: the condition and date of the timing chain or cam belt if applicable to the 2.0 TSI engine, brake disc and pad wear beyond the tester's measurement, coil spring and suspension bush condition on a road test, fluid and filter service history, and tyres including age-related cracking on the sidewalls. Underbody inspection for corrosion and exhaust integrity is prudent given the vehicle's age and all-wheel-drive specification, and a diagnostic scan would be sensible to confirm no stored fault codes exist within the transmission and drivetrain control units. The MOT file alone cannot establish mechanical soundness; it simply shows two clean passes, and any judgement on overall condition must rest on a hands-on inspection. Buying Score: 66, Risk Level: Low.
