2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Petrol · WF64 OSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on July 26 2025 at 73,350 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. The failure just two days prior to that pass reveals a list of neglected safety and compliance oversights, including non-conforming registration plates, a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, and inoperative headlamp levelling devices. While these issues were rectified quickly, the frequency of failures suggests the previous owner only addressed defects when necessitated by the annual test. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between the July 2024 test at 62,475 miles and the July 2025 test at 73,350 miles, the vehicle covered 10,875 miles. This represents a significant spike in usage compared to its historical average, though the total figure remains low for a Tiguan. The data indicates the car is regularly without long periods of standing between the recorded intervals. A buyer should specifically inspect the lighting system and electronics, as the headlamp levelling devices failed twice in 2024 and 2025. The 2023 advisory regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary or suffered from light use, which can lead to corrosion on the braking components. Furthermore, the 2024 failure for front tyres worn on the edges indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that requires a physical check to confirm. The presence of under trays noted across multiple records provides some protection against road debris, but the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for any hidden rust.
