2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · R7 JSE

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status, reflecting a consistently clean maintenance record across its entire history. The most recent test conducted on 27 August 2025 at 11,617 miles returned no defects or advisories, following a stable trend of clean passes over five consecutive years. This suggests the vehicle has remained in a condition that does not trigger any mechanical failures or structural degradation during annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,452 miles per year. Between the August 2021 test at 6,394 miles and the August 2025 test at 11,617 miles, the car covered only 5,223 miles. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, suspension components, and brake hardware, it also indicates long periods of standing which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid moisture ingress. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults or structural corrosion, a buyer should focus on specific areas affected by low-mileage storage. A physical inspection should check for flat spots on the tyres, perished wiper blades, and potential brake caliper seizing due to fluid sitting stagnant for long periods. The buyer must also verify that service history matches annual time intervals rather than mileage milestones, as the low usage intervals would not naturally trigger standard oil and filter changes.
