2007 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · ND07 VGF

The most recent MOT result from December 2022 was a pass, but the history shows a pattern of recurring mechanical concerns. The main risk pattern involves suspension component wear and corrosion, specifically noted in multiple entries regarding suspension units and arm pins or bushes. There is also evidence of brake pad wear and body structure corrosion. The condition trend is stable, as the vehicle passed the latest inspection following previous failures, indicating that maintenance has addressed some defects, but the underlying structural and suspension wear issues remain present. The mileage of 114,872 miles over nineteen years is consistent with typical usage for this age, meaning the recorded wear on components like brakes and suspension is expected. A buyer should immediately inspect the suspension components for signs of corrosion or excessive wear, particularly around the front and rear suspension arms and pins. Secondly, check the brake system for the condition of the brake pads, as they were noted as wearing thin in both the failed and passed inspections. Finally, check for any persistent oil leaks, as this was noted in the recent MOT history.
