2023 Volkswagen Tiguan Life TSI 1.5L Petrol · YP72 VLA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on February 2, 2026. While the record shows a failure just one month prior on January 31, 2026, the lack of recorded defects on the subsequent pass suggests a specific, isolated issue was rectified quickly rather than a systemic pattern of mechanical neglect. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, indicating that any identified faults were addressed immediately to meet DVSA standards. The recorded mileage of 20,899 miles over three years reflects a low annual usage rate of approximately 7,000 miles. This figure aligns with typical light-use patterns and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive stress on the drivetrain, braking components, or suspension assembly. The narrow gap between the January failure and the February pass at the exact same mileage indicates the failure was likely due to a minor consumable item or an adjustment requirement rather than high mileage-related wear. Since the most recent test recorded no specific defects, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the resolution of the January failure. A buyer should check the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and ensure there are no signs of fresh fluid leaks in the suspension system. Given the low mileage, the primary concerns are age-related tyre sidew cracking or rubber bushing degradation, which can occur on vehicles that sit for long periods between uses.
