2009 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · LM09 KYE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent pass on 29 July 2025 at 88,819 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, although the record demonstrates a pattern of immediate rectification following pre-test failures. The failures in June 2024 and July 2025 occurred within days of the scheduled MOT tests, suggesting that minor defects or consumable items were addressed immediately to pass the inspection. Once these hurdles cleared, the vehicle maintained itself without recorded defects across the subsequent passing tests. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 88,819 miles represents a low annual usage rate of approximately 5,225 miles. The data shows a steady but slow accumulation pattern, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 7,100 miles between June 2024 and July 2025. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components such as perished seals, bushings, and split brake lines. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components common to low-use vehicles of this era. While the MOT history is clean, the subframe and rear mounting points require close scrutiny for corrosion which often accelerates during stationary periods. Given the low mileage, check specifically for seized brake calipers or rusted brake pistons which frequently occur when a vehicle sits for long intervals. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking, as age often affects rubber compound before tread depth becomes a concern.
