2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LX65 AKZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2024-10-16 at 80,074 miles, confirmed roadworthiness with no defects. Subsequent tests from 2020 to 2023 also showed consistent pass results, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring mechanical issues or structural concerns were flagged across the five consecutive MOTs, suggesting the owner prioritized regular servicing. However, the absence of a test since October 2024 raises questions about compliance with UK legal requirements, as MOTs are valid for 12 months. The mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 11-year age, averaging approximately 7,279 miles annually. Notably, the jump from 63,686 miles (2023-10-17) to 80,074 miles (2024-10-16) reflects a 16,388-mile increase over 12 months, exceeding the average. This could indicate periods of heavy use or potential gaps in recorded mileage. Despite this, the absence of defects in all tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal thresholds. A buyer should verify the current MOT status and inspect for signs of wear not covered by the MOT, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, which may degrade over time without triggering alerts. Corrosion in the underbody or exhaust system, though not flagged in the record, warrants scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and tyre tread should also be checked, as these components often show gradual deterioration not captured in periodic tests. The clean MOT history does not eliminate the need for a pre-purchase inspection to confirm ongoing mechanical integrity.
