2023 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Edition TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · RH72 HAR

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile following its most recent inspection on 20 January 2026 at 29,173 miles. The tester recorded an advisory for rear brake pads wearing thin, which indicates that the component is nearing the end of its functional life but had not yet failed. This represents a standard consumable wear rather than a mechanical failure, though it suggests the previous owner may have deferred minor maintenance until the approach of the next service interval. At 29,173 miles over three years, the Tiguan has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK annual usage patterns. This consistent mileage suggests the mechanical components, including drivetrain and suspension, have experienced reasonable stress for a vehicle of this age. The proximity of the last MOT to the current date ensures that the vehicle's safety systems were verified against DVSA standards within the last five months. A buyer should verify the current condition of the rear brake assembly to ensure the pads have been replaced to prevent scoring of the discs. Since the record flagged thin pads, a physical inspection of the rotors for uneven wear or heat glazing is advisable. Beyond this single item, the history shows no evidence of structural corrosion, exhaust leaks, or suspension bushing failures, implying the vehicle has been maintained to a baseline standard of integrity.
