VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2011 · 2.0L Diesel

This Volkswagen Tiguan presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 14 February 2026 at 116,891 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and kept in a condition that meets DVSA requirements without the need for remedial work at the time of testing. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 15 year old vehicle. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the odometer rose from 84,370 to 116,891 miles, averaging roughly 13,173 miles per year over the last three years. This is a slight increase compared to the overall lifetime average of 7,793 miles per year, but the lack of any recorded defects during this period of higher usage suggests the mechanical components are coping well with the increased load. The absence of advisories over five years of testing is rare for a vehicle of this age and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. While the record shows no failures for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, these components naturally degrade over 116,000 miles regardless of test outcomes. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical service items not captured by a standard MOT. A buyer should also verify the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads. Because the MOT record is unusually clean, it is worth checking service invoices to ensure that consumables were replaced as part of a scheduled maintenance programme rather than simply lasting until the limit of legality. Checking for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay will confirm if the clean MOT history reflects genuine mechanical health or simply the absence of immediate safety failures.
