The 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-11-10 at 135,427 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance since 2022, with all tests from 2022-12-06 (101,893 miles) to 2025-11-10 passing without issues. The 2023-12-05 test, listed as failed but with no defects noted, appears anomalous or potentially misrecorded, as subsequent tests show no lingering problems. This suggests the car has been well-maintained in recent years, with no escalating mechanical concerns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,464 miles annually. Gaps between tests are regular, with no evidence of rapid mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity. The 2023-12-05 test, coinciding with 107,115 miles, shows no defects in either the failed or passed records, reinforcing the absence of systemic issues. The data reflects a predictable maintenance cycle, with no red flags in emissions, brakes, or structural integrity. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. While no suspension faults were recorded, older models like the Tiguan may develop play or wear in these areas. Inspect brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, as these can degrade over time. Additionally, check for exhaust system rust, as corrosion is common in older vehicles. The MOT history does not indicate structural issues, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the absence of hidden damage.
