2020 Volkswagen Tiguan Match TSI EVO S-A 1.5L Petrol · VO20 OMK

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness remains stable, with the most recent MOT test on May 22, 2025, passing at 30,672 miles. The maintenance trend is not deteriorating in a critical, sustained manner, though there are clear signs of specific, intermittent wear patterns that warrant attention. The 2025 test was conducted on a vehicle that has been in service for approximately six years, placing the mileage on a relatively low scale for its age, which suggests either lighter usage or periods of inactivity. The mileage accumulation has been relatively clean over the past two years, with no significant jumps in total distance recorded between the 2023 and 2025 tests. While the vehicle has been used for roughly five thousand miles annually, the gap between the 2024 and 2025 test dates is minimal, indicating that the vehicle has not been driven for an extended period since the 2023 inspection. This stability in mileage is notable given the vehicle's age, as it does not reflect a pattern of rapid consumption or high wear on critical components. The mechanical history reveals recurring faults in the suspension and braking systems, with the most recent test on May 22, 2025, showing a failure to meet the legal limit for the worn inner edge of the front tyre. The 2025 test also flagged binding rear brakes and pitted or scored disc surfaces on the rear axle, particularly on the offside side where the disc is significantly worn. While the 2024 test noted a nail in the tyre and a pitted disc on the rear axle, the 2023 test only flagged a light misting of oil in the shock absorbers. The presence of pitted or scored disc surfaces and binding brakes indicates structural integrity issues that may require inspection, whereas the oil misting suggests minor wear that is often covered by routine maintenance.
