2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Life TDI S A
CarHunch analysed 349 real MOT records for the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Life TDI S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2022 Tiguan TDI is a strong performer, with an 88.4% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 4% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—well within acceptable limits for a car of this age. The diesel engine appears robust, with owners averaging just 0.09 failures per vehicle and 0.9 advisories, suggesting mechanical soundness across the sample.
At a median mileage of 28,709 miles for a two-year-old car, these are typically well-looked-after examples, which goes some way to explaining the strong reliability picture. Check the service history carefully when buying, and don't be alarmed by minor advisories—they're rare enough here that any vehicle with a clean MOT record is likely a solid choice.
What to check before buying a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Life TDI S A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
