2021 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · LO70 ODP

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state with a clear improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 November 2025 at 31,152 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from flagged faults to a clean pass suggests the owner has taken proactive action to rectify the braking system. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 6,230 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 21,699 miles and the November 2024 test at 27,063 miles, the vehicle covered 5,364 miles in ten months. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not been subjected to excessive use, which typically correlates with reduced wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and suspension hardware. The January 2024 test at 21,699 miles flagged thin nearside rear brake pads along with pitted and scored discs on both rear wheels. While the subsequent tests passed without issue, a manual inspection should confirm the current pad thickness and check for any sticking calipers or uneven wear on the rotors. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to check for surface corrosion on the exhaust and brake lines, which can occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods.
