2019 Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace SE NAV TDI 2.0L Diesel · RF19 ENH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 30, 2026, but the recent history reveals a concerning trend of reactive maintenance. The failure recorded just three days prior to the latest test at 90,426 miles highlights all four tyres being either at or below the legal tread limit, alongside a misaligned nearside headlamp. While these specific issues were rectified to secure the subsequent pass, the pattern suggests the previous owner deferred basic consumable replacements until an MOT failure forced action, rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 90,426 miles over seven years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 13,000 miles per year, which sits above the average for a family SUV. The data shows consistent usage between the March 2024 test at 60,331 miles and the March 2026 test at 90,426 miles, covering over 30,000 miles in two years. This puts significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The recurring reports of uneven tyre wear across multiple years indicate potential issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension arm bushes. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the repeated mentions of saw tooth wear and inner-edge degradation in 2023 and 2024 suggest a persistent alignment fault or worn components. Given the high mileage and the history of neglecting tyres, the brake discs and pads should be checked for excessive thinning or seized calipers. The recent headlamp failure should also be verified to ensure the beam was correctly adjusted and that the mounting brackets are not loose or damaged.
