2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · LP17 AAV

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 15 October 2025 at 18,349 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,039 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 16,878 miles and the October 2025 test at 18,349 miles, the car covered only 1,471 miles over nearly four years. Such low usage suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary, which carries different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished tyre rubber, seized brake calipers, or degraded suspension bushes due to lack of movement. Check the date codes on the tyres and ensure the brake discs are free from heavy surface corrosion or pitting. Verify the condition of the battery and fluid levels, as long periods of inactivity can lead to premature battery failure and moisture accumulation in the oil. While the MOT history shows no structural issues or recurring faults, a manual check for rodent damage to wiring looms is advisable for cars that sit idle for extended periods.
