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 maintains a clean roadworthiness record, evidenced by the most recent MOT test conducted on 28 November 2025 at 18,136 miles. This examination resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories, indicating that the primary safety systems, structural integrity, and emissions compliance met the required standards at that time. The absence of any recorded faults suggests the vehicle has been subjected to standard maintenance protocols and has not yet developed chronic mechanical issues. With 18,136 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle averages roughly 4,500 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has seen light usage or frequent short-distance trips rather than heavy motorway commuting. While lower mileage often preserves drivetrain longevity, prospective buyers should remain aware that limited use can sometimes lead to premature battery degradation or seized brake components if the vehicle has remained stationary for extended periods. Given the single MOT entry available, there is no history of recurring faults or neglected repairs to indicate a pattern of poor ownership. You should focus your physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as low-mileage vehicles can exhibit surface corrosion on friction surfaces from lack of use. Check the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur due to age rather than tread wear. Ensure the electronic systems and infotainment interface operate without latency, as these are common points of failure in modern Volkswagen group vehicles of this generation.

Our Verdict

This 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Edition TSI S-A offers good value with a clean MOT history, but buyers should address the tyre wear issues and verify service records.

Focus on inspecting the front tyres for uneven wear and ensure they’ve been replaced or addressed. Verify the service history for regular maintenance, particularly brake and suspension checks. While no common model-specific issues are noted, the R-Line trim’s sportier suspension may require closer scrutiny. Negotiate slightly for the tyre-related MOT failure, but overall this represents a low-risk purchase.

Petrol fuel economy is typical for a 1.5L TSI engine, with expected costs around £1.30-£1.40 per litre. Tax band is £155 annually (2022-2023) for CO2 emissions of 139g/km. Insurance group 21 is average for this class. Routine maintenance (oil changes, brake checks) should cost £100-£150 every 12,000 miles. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.

Check the front tyres for replacement records and uneven wear patterns. Inspect suspension components for wear, as R-Line models sometimes experience stiffer setups. Verify brake pad thickness and rotor condition. Review service records for any missed maintenance. Check for leaks under the vehicle and test all electronic systems, as Volkswagen’s infotainment can occasionally develop glitches.

The vehicle has a single MOT failure related to tyre wear, with mileage (18,136 miles) below average for its age. No model-specific reliability data is available, but the clean MOT history suggests generally reliable ownership. The petrol engine and Euro 6 AP compliance align with typical 2022 standards.

No aggregate MOT data exists for this exact model, but the Volkswagen Tiguan range generally shows average reliability with occasional issues around electrical systems and timing belts.
