2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Active TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · KY22 UXE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on April 9, 2026, 32,680 miles. While it failed the test just one day prior at 32,670 miles due to rear brake pads falling below the legal 1.5mm limit, the owner immediately addressed the defect to secure a pass. The maintenance trend shows a reactive approach, as components are only being replaced upon failing an inspection rather than through scheduled preventative servicing. The' pattern is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,170 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 23,148 miles and the April 2026 test at 32,680 miles, the car covered 9,532 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular road use, which explains the wear on consumable items like the brake pads and the degradation of the wiper blades noted in the 2025 record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system, as the history flagged thin pads in March 2025 and a critical thickness failure in April 2026. This recurring issue suggests the rear calipers may be sticking or that the service intervals are not accounting for accelerated wear. It is also advisable to verify the condition of the windscreen wipers and check fluid levels, as the previous failure indicated a tendency to neglect minor mechanical components until they reached a point of failure.
