2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Active TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · VU22 AXD

The Volkswagen Tiguan Active TSI S-A presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 8 April 2026 at 45,724 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared its annual examination cleanly, showing no advisories or mechanical concerns at four years of age. Prior to this, the 28 March 2025 test at 34,333 miles also passed without fault, confirming a consistent clean record across both inspections. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for the vehicle's age. The Tiguan covered 11,391 miles between the March 2025 and April 2026 tests, averaging roughly 11,400 miles per year since registration. The record shows only two completed tests across a four-year span, with no intermediate entries to reveal consumable wear patterns. A failed test on 8 April 2026 at 45,722 miles preceded the same-day pass at 45,724 miles, though the failure carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of any flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the buyer faces minimal evident risk from the official record. The clean history implies previous owners maintained basic upkeep, with no recurring problems to track. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody integrity, as these consumables fall outside MOT failure thresholds until worn critically. The sparse but unblemished MOT data offers reasonable assurance for a used-car buyer. No worsening trend exists in the supplied entries. Physical verification of the exhaust emissions system and binding calipers remains prudent given the vehicle's low test frequency relative to its service life.
