Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a vehicle
Verify the service history to confirm whether the advisories noted in previous MOTs were acted upon. Specifically, check for evidence that the front brake discs (flagged in 2024) and rear brake pads (flagged in 2023) were replaced. The recurring windscreen damage noted between 2022 and 2024 suggests a history of chips or cracks; check the current glass for any repairs or replacements.
Given the 1.4L petrol engine, ensure the oil change intervals have been adhered to. Negotiate based on the current state of the suspension and brakes if there is no documented proof of the repairs following the 2024 and 2025 advisories.
The 1395cc petrol engine provides a balance of efficiency and power, though fuel costs will be higher than those of a diesel equivalent. Maintenance costs for the Tiguan typically involve periodic brake replacements and suspension work, as evidenced by this vehicle's history.
Annual costs will include the standard VED tax band for a 2018 petrol vehicle and insurance based on its group. Expect typical maintenance costs to be moderate, provided the vehicle is serviced according to the manufacturer's schedule.
Pay close attention to the front suspension. An offside front suspension arm pin or bush was noted as worn in April 2025; as suspension arms are a top failure reason for this model aggregate, ensure this has been resolved. Inspect the front brake discs for any remaining pitting or scoring mentioned in the 2024 record.
Finally, conduct a thorough inspection of the windscreen. Because damage was flagged in three consecutive MOTs (2022, 2023, and 2024), it is important to ensure the glass is now clear or has been professionally repaired to avoid future MOT issues.
This grey 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan has a recorded mileage of 73,824 miles, which aligns closely with the model average. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with the most recent test in April 2026 recording no defects. While there have been several advisories regarding wear-and-tear items, there are no recorded failures.
The Tiguan maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 85.6%, though suspension arms are identified as a common failure point across the model range.
