2016 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 17 June 2025 at 91,196 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the owner is proactively addressing any identified mechanical issues. While the vehicle failed a test in June 2024, the immediate re-test pass on the same day suggests the faults were minor and rectified quickly without indicating underlying neglect. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old SUV, averaging approximately 9,120 miles per annum. Between the October 2022 test at 72,683 miles and the June 2025 test at 91,196 miles, the vehicle covered 18,513 miles, representing a steady rate of use. This suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often leads to dry seals and brake corrosion, yet it has not accumulated enough mileage to justify concerns beyond the 90,000-mile threshold. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for a Tiguan of this age. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil spring seats for fatigue, as these often degrade around the 90,000-mile mark. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear and the calipers for binding is also advisable, although the MOT record does not currently flag these issues. A visual check of the chassis for surface corrosion remains necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
