Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 26 September 2025 at 94,849 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just one day prior at 94,812 miles, though the record indicates no recorded defects for that specific failure, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately. Since September 2022, the vehicle has maintained a consistent record of passing tests without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. With a total of 94,849 miles, the Tiguan has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between September 2022 (65,522 miles) and September 2025 (94,849 miles), the vehicle covered 29,327 miles, which aligns perfectly with the annual average. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of the vehicle sitting, which often benefits the health of rubber seals, gaskets, and braking system components. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components common to this age and mileage bracket. At nearly 95,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of wear or cracking, as these do not always trigger until they fail significantly. The brake discs should be inspected for thinning and the calipers should be checked for binding. Given the lack of structural advisories in the history, a quick check of the underbody sills for corrosion remains a priority to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last test.
