2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Petrol · RJ67 EDR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging consumable wear. The most recent test conducted on 21 May 2026 at 70,585 miles passed but introduced several advisories that were not present in previous years. This transition marks a departure from the flawless results seen over the last three years, indicating that the vehicle is entering a phase where standard mechanical components require proactive attention. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles annually. There is a significant gap of over 7,000 miles between November 2023 and May 2025, followed by another 10,000-mile interval between May 2025 and May 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components despite the aging of rubber parts noted in the latest report. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking system, as the 2026 test flagged both the nearside and offside front discs as worn and pitted. While these did not cause a failure, the surface condition suggests they are nearing the end of their effective life. The advisories regarding cracking and perishing on both rear tyres indicate that the rubber is degrading due to age rather than mileage, which poses a risk to grip and structural integrity regardless of how much tread depth remains. The history also reveals a past failure in November 2023 due to a supplementary restraint system warning lamp and a seat adjustment mechanism fault. While these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the buyer should verify that the SRS light remains off on the dashboard and that the seat operates smoothly. Given the lack of mentions of structural corrosion or suspension play in the record, the primary focus should remain on these identified wear items and the electronic health of the safety systems.
