VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2016 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving mechanical condition. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 39,756 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns identified in earlier years have been addressed. This transition from recorded advisories to a clean certificate suggests the current owner is being proactive with maintenance as components begin to age. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per annum. Data shows consistent annual usage, with exactly 4,000 miles driven between December 2024 and December 2025, and a similar increment in the year preceding it. While this low mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often exposes rubber components to age-related degradation, which is evident in the historical record of the vehicle's suspension. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, as the offside and nearside lower suspension arm bushes were flagged in both 2022 and 2023. While the 2025 test shows these are now compliant, the rubber should be checked for signs of cracking or tearing to ensure the issue has not returned. Additionally, the 2021 report noted pitted rear brake discs and perishing tyres suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods. Verifying the current state of the tyre sidewalls and the surface of the brake discs is essential to ensure no corrosion remains despite the low mileage.
