2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · BS02 ANA

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend following a specific mechanical failure. The most recent test in October 2025 at 83,341 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows two years of clean results in 2024 and 2023, indicating that once the owner addressed identified suspension issues, the vehicle has maintained a high standard of operational readiness without further MOT failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage patterns. Between the 2022 test at 79,658 miles and the 2023 test at 80,936 miles, the car covered only 1,278 miles. Between October 2023 and October 2024 tests, it covered an additional 1,169 miles. While low mileage suggests less drivetrain wear, such long intervals between use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown due to lack of mechanical exercise. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the October 2023 failure revealed a fractured offside front coil spring and excessively worn front wishbone rear bushes. Although these were rectified to achieve the subsequent passes, the age of the vehicle means other rubber bushings remain prone to cracking or tearing regardless of mileage. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check for brake corrosion on the discs and caliper seizing, as these often occur on vehicles that sit for extended periods. No structural corrosion issues were flagged in the recent advisories over the last three years.
