VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2016 · 2.0L Diesel

This Volkswagen Tiguan presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 84,176 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the history shows two failures on the same day as the passes in October 2025 and October 2023, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly during the test. The vehicle has covered 84,176 miles over ten years, averaging roughly 8,418 miles per year. This is a typical usage pattern for this model. There is a notable increase in annual mileage recently, with the car covering 10,804 miles between October 2024 and October 2025, compared to 13,185 miles in the year prior. This indicates consistent road use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps maintain engine health and prevents seals from perishing. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across multiple years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. It suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. Because the MOT record is unusually clean, it provides little diagnostic guidance on specific weak points. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Tiguan wear items that may not trigger an MOT failure. Check the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads, as these consumables are not mentioned in the records. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion and verify the service history to ensure the cambelt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's interval, as these are critical maintenance items not captured by a standard MOT test.
