2011 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4L Petrol · RF11 TWY

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 December 2025 at 96,425 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The December 2025 test followed a same-day failure at 96,422 miles, though the DVSA entry logs no defects against that failure, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. A prior same-day fail with no defects recorded also occurred on 7 November 2024 at 88,018 miles before the pass. No advisories or defects appear anywhere in the 2023 to 2025 records. The mileage rose from 76,364 at the 16 November 2023 test to 88,018 by 7 November 2024, then to 96,425 by 1 December 2025, giving annual use of roughly 11,600 and 8,400 miles across those intervals. Over the vehicle's fifteen-year life this averages about 6,400 miles per year, so the recent two years show slightly above-average but not excessive accumulation. The clean record with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or emissions flags across three years implies the previous keeper kept basic consumable and structural upkeep in order, though the duplicated fail entries without faults point to careless garage filing rather than neglect of the car itself. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the car's age and the absence of any advisory data to confirm wear state. The lack of recorded exhaust or structural integrity concerns is reassuring, but MOT sheets with zero advisories at 96,000 miles often mean the tester logged only hard failures. Verify the underbody for corrosion and check the front brake discs and pads in person before purchase.
