2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Elegance TDI 4MOTION SA 2.0L Diesel · WR21 ADZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑11‑18 recorded a pass with zero defects, indicating the earlier brake‑related failure has been resolved and the maintenance trend is improving. The November 2024 failure—steering pull, front and rear brake disc wear—did not reappear in the subsequent tests, suggesting the issues were addressed and the car’s mechanical condition is now stable. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a five‑year‑old model. The first MOT at 21,102 miles was recorded in May 2024, followed by a rapid increase to 27,070 miles in late November 2024 (≈6,000 miles in six months). A re‑test the same day showed only a two‑mile rise, then the mileage progressed to 33,094 miles by November 2025 (≈6,000 miles in roughly eleven months). The pattern reflects a steady, expected rate of about 6,600 miles per year with no unusual gaps in the service history. A buyer should inspect the brake system thoroughly. Check rear brake discs for significant wear, examine front discs for pitting or scoring, and verify that the steering pull observed in November 2024 has not recurred. Inspect the calipers for binding and the suspension bushes for uneven wear that could result from brake imbalance. Look for any corrosion on the chassis or exhaust components, and assess tyre tread depth and condition, as the MOT record does not detail tyre wear. A professional inspection of the brake discs, pads, and steering linkage will confirm that the previous failure remains resolved.
