2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · M88 RAW

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness record with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 26 September 2025 at 46,070 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is notably low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,759 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between June 2023 at 16,109 miles and September 2024 at 31,210 miles, where the car covered over 15,000 miles in fifteen months. Since then, the mileage has risen more moderately to 46,070 miles by September 2025. This variation indicates a shift in usage patterns rather than erratic care. The absence of any recorded advisories across four consecutive tests is rare. The tester flagged no issues with brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions, nor was there any mention of structural corrosion. This suggests a previous owner who prioritised preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has seen very light duty in a non-corrosive environment. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. The buyer should check for perishing rubber seals and the condition of the tyre compounds, as low-mileage cars often run on old rubber that hardens over time. Checking the brake fluid moisture content and ensuring the battery health is stable will confirm if the vehicle suffered from any periods of prolonged standing.
