2023 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line TSI Phev S-A 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · WR23 YEG

A consistent record of roadworthiness is established by the initial MOT test on 26 May 2026, which resulted in a pass with a single advisory. This indicates that the vehicle has met the minimum legal safety standards for its first official inspection without any major failures or structural defects. The recorded mileage of 44,894 miles is high for a three-year-old vehicle, representing an annual accumulation of approximately 14,965 miles. Such a usage profile suggests a higher rate of wear on drivetrain components, suspension linkages, and braking systems than is typical for this model year, necessitating a closer inspection of all wear-and-tear items. Attention must be paid to the nearside rear tyre, which was flagged as being worn close to the legal limit and showing wear on the edge. This specific pattern of edge wear warrants a check of the rear wheel alignment and the condition of the trailing arm bushes to ensure there is no premature degradation of the suspension geometry. Given the high mileage, a test drive should focus on detecting any abnormal noises from the suspension, such as knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, and any judder through the brake pedal. The buyer should verify that the braking performance is consistent and that there is no steering drift, which would further corroborate the tyre wear noted in the DVSA record.
