2022 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Petrol · SD22 PLU

The 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 2025‑12‑03 after a re‑test at 49,392 miles. The earlier failure on the same date at 49,388 miles was rectified without any defects remaining, indicating a stable maintenance pattern with no recurring issues recorded. Overall, the vehicle’s roadworthiness status is acceptable at the time of the latest test. Mileage accumulation between the May 2025 test (43,899 miles) and the December 2025 test (49,392 miles) represents an increase of roughly 5,500 miles in four months, which translates to an annual rate of about 12,300 miles per year. This is a high figure for a four‑year‑old SUV and suggests intensive use. The MOT record is sparse, with only three entries and a duplicate test on the same day, providing limited insight into long‑term wear trends. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue given the high mileage. Brake discs, calipers, and pads should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as the rapid mileage increase can accelerate consumable degradation. Tyre tread depth and alignment should be checked for uneven wear patterns, and the exhaust system and under‑body panels should be inspected for corrosion, especially in a vehicle that has logged over 12,000 miles annually. A thorough visual and mechanical check of the drivetrain for oil leaks or abnormal noise will also help assess the impact of the intensive usage pattern.
