2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace Life TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · LD72 OFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a concerning trend of reactive maintenance. While the car passed its test on 28 October 2025 at 34,289 miles, it initially failed on the same day due to significant brake wear. The failure noted that front brake pads were near the limit and rear brake pads were below 1.5mm, suggesting that the braking system was neglected until the inspection forced action. At 34,289 miles over four years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,572 miles per annum. This usage profile is consistent with typical national averages for a family car, indicating the car has not been subjected to excessive high mileage. The data is relatively clean regarding other mechanical failures, though the immediate brake failure indicates that servicing intervals may have been inconsistent with the mileage recorded. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system to ensure the reported faults were rectified with quality components. Given that both front and rear pads were flagged simultaneously, it is essential to check the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear, which often occurs when pads are allowed to run thin. Additionally, an inspection of the suspension components and tyre condition is advised to confirm that the low annual mileage has not resulted in perished rubber or flat spots from periods of standing.
