On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick.

If you're viewing a Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace Life TDI S-a with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.
A typical Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace Life TDI S-a owner drives around 9,413 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
