2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Life TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · VE70 VRC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 25,051 miles where it passed with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards following issues identified in the previous year. The current data suggests the vehicle meets all essential safety and emissions requirements without requiring immediate mechanical intervention. The mileage pattern is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles annually. Between the January 2024 test at 8,831 miles and the February 2025 test at 18,955 miles, the car covered 10,124 miles, representing a brief spike in usage compared to its annual average. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, infrequent use can sometimes lead to rubber components de-grading or brake components seizing if the vehicle has sat for long periods between these recorded intervals. The February 2025 test at 18,955 miles flagged both the offside and nearside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and edged. This specific wear pattern often indicates a wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage-related degradation. A buyer should verify the current tyre depth for even wear and inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the alignment remains within manufacturer specification. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection of the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion is advisable, as these components can suffer on stationary vehicles.
