2012 Volkswagen Tiguan R Line TDI Bluetech 4M 2.0L Diesel · PHZ 5946

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 07 May 2025 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner successfully rectified previous issues to achieve a defectless result. While the history shows intermittent failures in 2024 and early 2025, the recent inspection indicates that the current or most recent owner is addressing necessary repairs to keep the vehicle meeting minimum safety standards. The mileage data reveals high-intensity usage for a 2012 registration. Between 25 November 2022 and 25 April 2025, the vehicle covered 68,932 miles, averaging over 23,000 miles per year. A significant surge occurred between the February 2024 test and the April 2025 test, where the car clocked 35,766 miles in just 14 months. This rapid accumulation suggests the vehicle is used for long-distance motorway driving, which typically places different stresses on engine components and suspension bushings compared to shorter city trips. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system due to the high mileage of 228,663 miles. At this distance, shock absorbers, control arm bushes, and coil springs are prone to significant wear and failure. Given the previous failures followed by passes, it is vital to check for signs of binding brake calipers or uneven wear on the discs. The chassis should also be examined for structural corrosion, as high-mileage vehicles exposed to the elements over fourteen years often de-gradation on the frame and mounting points.
