2020 Volkswagen Tiguan Match TSI EVO S-A 1.5L Petrol · W31 RAB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 43,047 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the transition from a clean record in 2025 to an advisory in 2026 indicates the onset of consumable wear. While the vehicle passed inspection, the presence of perishing rear tyres suggests that rubber components are aging despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,174 miles per year. The data shows steady usage with a 6,689-mile gap between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 2,256 miles between February 2024 and January 2025. This regular interval suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally protects against seized brake components or degraded fluids common in low-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres. The February 2024 test at 36,894 miles flagged thin pads on both axles and noted worn front discs. Given that over 6,000 miles have passed since that report, the buyer must verify if these components were replaced or if the wear has continued to progress. The January 2026 advisory regarding cracking or perishing rear tyres necessitates a close look at the sidewalls for structural integrity, as age-related rubber degradation can occur regardless of tread depth.
