2020 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.5L Petrol · SA70 KSJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a lapse in proactive consumable care. While it passed its latest test in September 2025 at 30,481 miles, this followed an immediate failure just six days prior. The tester flagged both front tyres as having tread depth below the legal limit of 1.6mm. This failure and subsequent rectify indicates that while the core mechanical components appear stable, the owner neglected basic tyre maintenance until the inspection deadline. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,080 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 14,843 miles in 2023 to 22,998 miles in 2024, reaching the current recorded figure in 2025. This low usage rate typically results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, such low mileage patterns can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or corrosion on the brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods between tests. A buyer must address the recurring obstructions noted in the records. In three consecutive years, fitted covers and child seats prevented the tester from fully inspecting seat belts and specific underbody areas. A physical inspection is required to verify the integrity of the seat belt assemblies and to ensure no hidden corrosion exists beneath the chassis. Given the recent tyre failure, a thorough check of the remaining rubber age and condition across all tyres is also essential to ensure they have not perished despite the low mileage.
