2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · LL10 KKS

A consistent history of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 20 December 2025 showing no defects. While the earlier records from 2019 and 2021 contained minor advisories regarding tyre condition and registration plate deterioration, the testing trend over the last two years has been entirely free of recorded failures or advisories. This indicates a period of stability in the vehicle's documented mechanical state, moving from minor consumable issues to a clean record in the most recent two consecutive annual tests. The recorded mileage of 69,703 miles for a 2010 model represents an unusually low annual average of approximately 4,356 miles. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the typical UK average for a diesel or petrol SUV of this age. Mechanically, such low annual accumulation can mean less wear on high-friction components like brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes, but it also necessitates a closer inspection of rubber components and seals that may have aged due to time rather than distance. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the tyre history noted in the 2019 and 2021 tests, which flagged issues such as a nail in the tyre and sidewall cracking or perishing. Although these were recorded as advisories and the most recent tests were clear, the low mileage usage pattern makes it important to inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of dry rot or age-related cracking. During a test drive, listen for any irregular rhythmic thumping or vibrations that could indicate uneven tread wear or internal tyre structure degradation, which can sometimes occur on vehicles that spend long periods stationary. Beyond the tyres, the lack of recorded defects in recent years means there are no specific mechanical faults like oil misting, suspension knocks, or brake pipe corrosion to investigate from the MOT history. However, given the low mileage, it is advisable to check for any signs of fluid weeping from the engine or gearbox seals and to listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension linkages when navigating uneven surfaces. This ensures that the lack of recorded defects is not simply a result of the components being in a state of stasis rather than being fully operational.
