2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · LP18 FDO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 7 July 2025 at 37,564 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance record over several years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents mechanical failures or structural degradation being flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between July 2021 at 18,430 miles and August 2022 at 26,169 miles, where the car covered nearly 8,000 miles. Since then, the accumulation has remained at a consistently low rate of roughly 3,000 to 3,500 miles annually. This low annual mileage suggests light road use, which typically places less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. While the MOT records show no recurring faults, a buyer should inspect for specific issues associated with low-mileage vehicles that sit periodically. Check for cracking on tyre sidewalls and flat spots, which can occur when a car remains stationary. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as often develops if the brakes are not frequently used. Since the record shows no advisories for suspension bushes or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection of the underbody should confirm that no hidden rust has begun despite the vehicle's age.
