VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2016 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the documented history. The most recent MOT test on 8 October 2025 at 113,718 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at 113,714 miles. While the record shows no specific faults for that failure, the proximity suggests an administrative error or a minor component that was rectified immediately. Since the August 2022 test, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without advisories, indicating a consistent mechanical standard. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle. With 113,718 miles recorded, the Tiguan has averaged approximately 11,372 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family. Between August 2022 at 83,263 miles and September 2023 at 92,864 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles, showing steady accumulation. This suggests the car has not been subject to long periods of stationary use which benefits the health of engine seals and braking components. Given the lack of recorded advisories over the last three years, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage wear common to this model. You should examine the control arm bushes and coil springs for perished rubber, as these often show degradation after the 100,000-mile mark. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear and ensuring the calipers are not binding is also advisable, as the MOT does not measure remaining pad thickness. The clean history suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but the high mileage necessitates a close look at the chassis for any emerging corrosion on the underbody.
