Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 31 October 2025 at 122,684 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the test exactly one day after the scheduled appointment but passed the following day. This suggests that the previous owner addressed specific minor defects, such as bulbs, wipers, or minor mechanical adjustments, only when prompted by failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 122,684 miles, the Tiguan has averaged approximately 7,668 miles per year over its 16-year life, which aligns with typical usage for a family SUV. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between November 2023 and October 2024, and another 11,951 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent seals from drying or brake components from seizing, despite the age of the vehicle. Because the MOT history shows no recorded advisories or recurring faults, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components that the test does not fully evaluate. Given the age and mileage, a close look at the suspension arm bushes and coil springs is required to identify perished rubber or fractures common points of failure on this model. The buyer should also check for corrosion on the structural underbody and brake lines, as the clean MOT record does not reflect the progression of surface rust until it reaches a failure point.
