2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Life TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · VN22 VHP

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT test on 14 May 2026 at 28,691 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of mechanical compliance, though the record reveals a recurring issue regarding tyre condition. While the vehicle has avoided any major mechanical or structural failures, the persistent advisories regarding rubber degradation indicate a specific pattern of neglect regarding consumables. The mileage profile is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,173 miles per year. Between the May 2025 test at 24,302 miles and the May 2026 test at 28,691 miles, the car covered 4,389 miles. This low annual usage suggests light travel, which typically preserves the drivetrain and suspension components, but it also explains the dry rot observed on the tyres across the two consecutive test records. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the entire tyre set, as the tester flagged minor cracking and perishing on all four tyres in both 2025 and 2026. This pattern suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods or is exposed to environmental factors that accelerate rubber hardening. Beyond tread depth, check the sidewalls for deep fissures that could compromise structural integrity of the rubber. Since the MOT history shows no faults with brakes, emissions, or suspension, the primary focus remains on the age and condition of the tyres relative to the low mileage.
