2020 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.5L Petrol · VN20 ADU

The vehicle holds a clean MOT record at its most recent pass on the 1st of August 2025 at 83,475 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. That test sits just under a week before the current date, so the certificate is still valid. Across the three full passes on file, the tester recorded zero defects each time, which indicates a stable and well-kept maintenance history. The single failure on the 3rd of July 2023 was rectified within one day at the same mileage on the follow-up pass, pointing to a straightforward issue rather than a deep mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 83,475 miles across roughly six years works out to about 13,900 miles per year, which is above average for a family SUV. The accumulation was not uniform. Between July 2023 and June 2024 the car covered approximately 15,800 miles, a heavy stint of around 16,500 miles per year, but the pace dropped notably between June 2024 and August 2025, with only about 10,170 miles added. That recent slowing suggests the car has seen less punishing use in its latest year of service. Because the MOT history shows no advisories for suspension, brakes, or structural corrosion, there are no specific warning signs to chase. That said, a clean certificate does not exempt the usual high-mileage consumables from scrutiny. Before committing, check the front and rear coil springs for cracking, inspect the lower suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links for play, and examine the brake discs and pads for lipping or uneven wear. A binding caliper can also hide behind a clean test. Likewise, confirm the tyres carry adequate tread and that the exhaust system shows no signs of corrosion, since these items often wear silently between annual inspections.
