2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · KU17 AAT

This Volkswagen Tiguan has maintained a clean MOT history across five consecutive tests, with no defects recorded in any of the most recent examinations. The most recent pass occurred just under a year ago on 22 August 2025 at 81,709 miles, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or major mechanical failures, suggesting the previous owner—or owners—have adhered to basic maintenance protocols without significant neglect. However, the absence of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly for components not routinely tested under MOT regulations. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 9,000 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that might indicate extended storage or heavy usage. The most notable gap between tests is between the 2021 and 2022 MOTs, where the vehicle accumulated 13,043 miles in just over a year, yet still passed without issue. This pattern suggests consistent driving habits without extreme wear, though it does not rule out deferred maintenance on non-MOT-checked areas like the drivetrain or interior components. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common wear points on this model. The lack of advisories does not confirm their condition, and excessive play or corrosion could compromise handling. Brake components, including rear calipers and discs, should also be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding, as these are frequently overlooked until failure. Additionally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, especially around the sills and sub-frame, as this model is prone to rust progression over time. Finally, verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical but not MOT-checked intervals.
