2017 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2.0L Petrol

The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent DVSA test, conducted on 13 June 2025 at 72,895 miles and roughly thirteen months before the present review date, returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations show a consistent pattern of clean results, indicating the vehicle's mechanical and structural condition has not degraded across the recorded interval. The sole anomaly appears in a failed test dated 18 July 2024 at 64,224 miles where the record lists no defects; a subsequent pass on the same date with identical mileage suggests an administrative or procedural irregularity rather than a latent fault. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 54,031 miles at the 17 November 2022 test, rose to 57,356 miles by 26 July 2023, then to 64,224 miles at the July 2024 examinations, and reached 72,895 miles by June 2025. This equates to an average annual distance of roughly 8,100 miles, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged dormancy that would signal uneven wear. The sparse but unbroken sequence of tests implies the previous keeper maintained statutory compliance, though the lack of advisory notes prevents insight into minor consumable items addressed outside the MOT regime. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core components prone to age-related deterioration. The Tiguan's suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant tactile and visual checks despite the absence of recorded advisories. Examiners logged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet underbody rust can develop unseen between tests. The unexplained failure on 18 July 2024 demands clarification from the selling party; request the original failure certificate to rule out emission analyser mismatch or documentation error. Given the clean trailing record, the powertrain and exhaust emissions appear serviceable. Verify service history complements the MOT data, focusing on cambelt interval and fluid changes. The vehicle's care pattern reflects routine statutory testing rather than deferred maintenance, but prudent due diligence remains advised before purchase.
