2009 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · J90 EDK

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent March 2026 MOT at 186,857 miles recording no defects. Previous tests from 2025, 2024, and 2023 also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The single March 2024 failure at identical mileage did not list any defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor technical anomaly. Overall, the trend shows no emerging mechanical risks, with all tests passing in the last three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 186,857 miles aligns with an average of 10,992 miles annually over 17 years, reflecting typical usage for its age. MOT records are spaced consistently, with no significant gaps or sudden mileage spikes. The 2023 test at 155,961 miles preceded a 12,896-mile increase by 2024, which is within normal parameters. The data lacks anomalies, implying steady operation without periods of prolonged inactivity or excessive strain. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushings, which may show wear given the high mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older vehicles. Underbody corrosion, especially around the chassis and exhaust system, warrants scrutiny, as it can develop over time in salt-prone environments. No specific advisories are noted in the records, but the vehicle’s age and mileage justify a thorough mechanical examination of these areas.
