2019 Volkswagen Tiguan 1.5L Petrol · YF69 EKA

The 2025 MOT for the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan was passed with minor issues, including a cracked nearside rear light and deteriorated registration plates. These are not safety-critical but indicate aging components. The vehicle has a consistent pattern of tyre and brake-related findings, with no major safety defects in the most recent test. Recurring mechanical issues include tyre wear and brake component degradation. In 2023, front tyres were near the legal limit, and a rear tyre had a nail. In 2022, both front and rear tyres showed severe defects, including exposed ply and structural tears, alongside thinning brake pads and worn discs. While the 2025 MOT showed no such severe tyre issues, brake pad wear remains a recurring concern. The trend suggests some improvement since the 2022 failed test, but tyre and brake wear persist. The vehicle’s 69,104 miles (9,872 per year) is typical for its age, indicating moderate use. However, the 2022 MOT’s multiple defects—tyres, brakes, and wipers—highlight potential maintenance gaps.
