2012 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · C10 RBH

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-09 at 162,349 miles showed no defects, confirming its roadworthiness. A consistent pattern of annual passes from 2023 to 2026, with no recorded faults, indicates stable maintenance practices. However, the 2023-01-12 test listed as FAILED despite no defects recorded raises ambiguity. This may reflect a data entry error or a minor issue resolved before the subsequent pass. Overall, the trend suggests reliable upkeep, with no escalating mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 162,349 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 11,596 annual miles, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT records show regular testing with no gaps, implying consistent attention to compliance. The 2024-01-16 test at 137,088 miles and 2025-01-16 at 150,356 miles reveal steady mileage progression, with no spikes or prolonged inactivity. This suggests the car has been driven regularly, reducing risks of component degradation from standing. Despite the clean MOT history, the vehicle’s age and high mileage necessitate in-person checks on critical systems. Inspect suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear given the 14-year lifespan. Verify brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common at this mileage. The 2023 failure without defects also warrants scrutiny of the service history to confirm no unresolved issues. A thorough mechanical inspection is advised to validate the MOT records and identify any latent faults.
