2011 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · B17 GAG

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 5 March 2026 at 125,179 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 6 March 2025 at 117,654 miles and 13 March 2024 at 110,961 miles also passed cleanly, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the last three years. The single failure on 6 March 2025 at 117,642 miles listed no defects, which points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 2011 vehicle, averaging roughly 8,345 miles per year against the 125,179 miles recorded. The gap between the March 2023 test at 104,857 miles and the March 2024 test at 110,961 miles shows 6,104 miles covered, followed by 6,693 miles to March 2025 and 7,525 miles to March 2026, a gently rising annual use pattern with no sudden accumulation spikes. The record is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged wear on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across the five-year window. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's fifteen-year age and the MOT record's lack of advisory detail on these items. The clean test history offers no evidence of recurring suspension or braking faults, yet the absence of advisories at this mileage means consumable components such as coil springs, exhaust emissions compliance, and binding calipers have not been formally assessed for wear beyond pass thresholds. Given the previous owner sustained a fault-free testing record with no skipped annual tests, basic statutory upkeep appears consistent. Physical verification of tyre tread depth, brake disc condition, and steering linkage play remains prudent before purchase, as the DVSA data alone does not capture component life remaining on a high-mileage Tiguan.
