2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LX65 AJU

The 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2024-05-23 at 138,062 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with all five consecutive MOTs from 2020 to 2024 passing without issues. No advisories or failures were noted across the full history, indicating consistent upkeep by previous owners. The vehicle’s mechanical systems appear to have been maintained to a standard that meets legal requirements, though the absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear. The mileage of 138,062 miles at 11 years old equates to an average of 12,551 miles annually, which is above the typical range for its age. The MOT records show steady progression, with intervals of roughly 12,000–15,000 miles between tests. Notably, the 2020-06-04 test at 68,139 miles to the 2024-05-23 test at 138,062 miles reflects a consistent usage pattern without significant gaps. This suggests regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity, though the high annual mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension, particularly coil springs and bushings, which may show fatigue from extended high-mileage use. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common issues in older vehicles. The exhaust system’s integrity, including catalytic converter functionality, is critical given the age and mileage. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or major faults, the vehicle’s high mileage necessitates a thorough check of these areas to confirm continued safety and reliability.
