2018 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the most recent period. The latest inspection conducted on 20 August 2025 at 125,695 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car is currently meeting all DVSA standards for safety and environmental emissions. Following a single minor failure in late November 2023 related to headlamp alignment, the vehicle has undergone three consecutive tests without any indication of recurring mechanical or structural faults. The mileage profile reflects heavy usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,700 miles annually. There is a significant acceleration in usage noted between October 2021 at 74,306 miles and September 2022 at 101,298 miles, covering over 27,000 miles in just eleven months. Since then, the accumulation has remained more steady, with roughly 2,400 miles recorded between the December 2024 and August 2025 tests. This high annual mileage suggests frequent motorway-heavy use, which typically places less strain on clutches and brakes compared to short-distance city driving. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to accelerated wear-and-tear. A buyer must verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. While the history shows no recorded brake issues or structural corrosion, the thickness of the brake discs and the state of the tyres should be checked to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. The lack of advisories in the last three tests suggests the previous owner has been proactive, but the high mileage still warrants a thorough check of the drivetrain and underbody for signs of oil leaks or premature wear.
