2018 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line TDI BMT 4MOT S-A 2.0L Heavy oil · IGZ 5220

This Volkswagen Tiguan has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the last three tests, most recently passing on 21 September 2025 at 75,948 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent, if not exemplary, maintenance over the past three years. The most recent test, just under a year ago, confirms the car remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though buyers should verify whether any non-MOT-related issues—such as minor fluid leaks or worn suspension components—have since developed. The mileage progression indicates average usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 9,500 miles annually. The gaps between tests are standard, with the most recent passing occurring just under a year after the previous one, aligning with the 12-month MOT cycle. There are no red flags in the recorded mileage, though the lack of intermediate servicing records means potential wear on high-wear items like timing belts, fuel injectors, or differential fluid cannot be confirmed from this data alone. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—for excessive wear or corrosion, as these are common failure points on this model. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Additionally, the exhaust system warrants scrutiny for leaks or rust penetration, particularly around the catalytic converter and muffler joints, given the vehicle’s age. A thorough check of the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, is also advisable, as this is a critical area for long-term integrity.
