2010 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2.0L Diesel

The Tiguan currently shows no active MOT certificate, given the latest pass on 27 May 2025 at 161,717 miles expired on 27 May 2026 some six weeks before today's date of 9 July 2026. That final examination returned no defects, and the maintenance trend across the supplied record stays stable despite two earlier failures at identical mileages before subsequent clears. The tester recorded no advisories or mechanical faults on any dated visit, confirming the vehicle met statutory minimums at each attempt. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 2010 registered vehicle. The extract shows 148,719 miles on 16 May 2023, rising to 155,515 miles by 1 June 2024, then 161,717 miles on 27 May 2025. That equates to roughly 6,800 miles per year across the seen period, below the 10,107 mile annual average implied by total odometer, suggesting lighter recent running. Only five MOT entries span three years; the absence of earlier tests limits longitudinal judgement, yet the clean defect list implies basic scheduled compliance by previous keepers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components not captured by pass results. The sixteen year old Volkswagen demands close checks on suspension bushes, front coil springs, and brake disc wear, alongside underbody corrosion and structural integrity around sills and subframes. High mileage Tiguan models often exhibit tired dampers and binding calipers not always flagged in a pass. The repeated failures on 16 May 2023 and 20 May 2024 with no defects recorded merit direct verification with DVSA records. Previous owners cleared the initial rejection within hours or twelve days respectively, pointing to administrative or unlogged causes rather than neglected repair. Examine service paperwork to confirm routine consumable replacement such as tyres and wiper blades, as the MOT gives no advisory trail for such items.
