2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R Line TSI S A
CarHunch analysed 2,677 real MOT records for the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R Line TSI S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2022 Tiguan R-Line TSI is a genuinely reliable performer, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 92.6%—well above the UK average of 80%—and only 5.6% of vehicles ever developing a dangerous defect. The low failure rate of 0.09 per vehicle means serious problems are rare, though the 0.9 advisories per car suggest minor wear items (typically suspension or lighting) will emerge.
At a median mileage of 25,524 miles for a two-year-old car, these examples are running well within typical use patterns, which explains the strong reliability numbers. The CarHunch score of 70 reflects a solid, low-hassle ownership experience; when buying one used, prioritise a full-service history and have the suspension checked, as that's where most advisories cluster.
What to check before buying a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R Line 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.
