2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Petrol · LS17 XEW

The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a stable and largely positive maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 19 July 2025 at 59,457 miles. The sole advisory raised in that most recent test concerned an Offside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit and worn on edge, indicating a minor consumable wear item rather than a structural or mechanical failure. Prior to that, the vehicle passed four consecutive MOTs without a single defect recorded, suggesting consistent routine servicing and responsible ownership over the past four years. The mileage accumulation of approximately 6,606 miles per year is typical for a nine-year-old vehicle and does not raise concerns about excessive wear or suspiciously low use. Between the July 2024 test at 51,148 miles and the July 2025 test at 59,457 miles, the vehicle covered 8,309 miles in twelve months, which is slightly above the annual average but well within normal daily-use parameters. No significant mileage gaps appear in the record, and the progression from 40,844 miles in July 2023 to 51,148 miles in July 2024 confirms steady, regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the condition of the front suspension and steering geometry, given the July 2025 advisory on the Offside Front Tyre showing edge wear. Uneven tyre wear of this nature often points to misaligned tracking, worn suspension bushes, or a deteriorating tracking rod end, none of which were flagged as defects but warrant a physical inspection underneath the vehicle. The front brake pads were noted as seventy-five percent worn in the March 2022 test at 28,815 miles, meaning they have likely been replaced since, though verifying the replacement date and checking the current condition of front brake discs and pads remains prudent at this mileage. The rear brake setup and calipers should also be inspected for any signs of binding, as this common issue on the Tiguan platform does not always surface during a standard MOT unless severe. Overall, this Tiguan demonstrates a well-maintained history with no recurring serious faults. The advisory on the most recent test is minor and expected for a vehicle approaching sixty thousand miles, but the edge wear pattern on the offside front tyre justifies a pre-purchase inspection focused on front-end alignment and suspension component condition before committing to the purchase.
