2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Life TSI S A
CarHunch analysed 2,227 real MOT records for the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Life TSI S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2022 Tiguan is a genuinely reliable performer, with a first-time pass rate of 91.4% — comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80% — and only 5.6% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects, which is well below concern territory. The TSI petrol engine shows consistent dependability across the sample of 2,227 vehicles.
At an average mileage of 28,000 km, these cars are still relatively young with minimal wear, and they're backing that up with just 0.1 failures per vehicle and 1.0 advisory per vehicle on test. If you're buying one, a pre-purchase inspection is still sensible given the median Carhunch score of 50, but mechanically this generation Tiguan is proving itself solid in the field.
What to check before buying a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Life TSI 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.
