2026 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Etsi S-A 3.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · NH13 OCT

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend across its history. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 38,895 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that all primary mechanical and safety components were operating within manufacturer parameters. Since the initial failure in late 2022, the vehicle has maintained a perfect record through consecutive inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage patterns for a modern SUV. The vehicle covered approximately 6,500 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, followed by another 7,776 miles in the following year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady usage of roughly 7,000 miles per annum suggests a predictable driver rather than neglect. At 38,895 miles, the vehicle remains early in its lifecycle, avoiding the component fatigue often seen in higher-mileage examples. While the MOT record shows no recurring structural issues or mechanical failures, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of wear-related items. Given the 40,000-mile mark, it is prudent to check the condition of the brake pads and discs for thinning, as these often require their first replacement around this interval. The suspension bushes and tyres should be examined for signs of premature wear, as the MOT test only identifies faults once they reach a legal safety threshold.
