2021 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.5L Petrol · LB21 MWC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 January 2026 at 16,785 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period where specific consumable faults were identified and rectified. While the history indicates intermittent failures, the most recent result suggests that the owner is reacting to safety requirements identified by the testing centre. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,357 miles per year. There is a gap between the April 2024 test at 10,153 miles and the February 2025 test at 12,969 miles where the car covered only under 2,800 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components regardless of the physical wear on the tread depth. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres in person. The February 2025 failure at 12,963 miles highlighted a deep cut in the offside rear inner tyre and perishing on both front tyres. Despite the low mileage, these issues indicate that dry rot or cracking is occurring due to age rather than distance. You should also check the wiper blades, as the April 2024 failure for poor clearing performance suggests the rubber may have hardened over time.
