2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · RE68 AEJ

The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan has demonstrated stable roadworthiness in its most recent MOT test on 2025-11-18, which resulted in a pass at 64,596 miles. However, the same date recorded a prior failure at 64,595 miles, suggesting potential unresolved issues or administrative discrepancies. No defects were logged in either test, indicating the vehicle met basic safety standards but may have required minor adjustments or retesting. Subsequent tests from 2024 and 2023 also showed no defects, reinforcing a consistent pattern of compliance without significant mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 64,596 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 8,074 miles, reflecting typical wear for its age. The gap between the 2023-11-09 test (39,134 miles) and 2024-11-13 (53,797 miles) shows a steady increase, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The 2024-11-14 pass at 53,818 miles and the following day’s failure at 53,797 miles suggest possible testing inconsistencies or minor technical issues resolved between tests. Overall, the mileage progression and MOT history indicate regular use without extreme wear or neglect. While no structural or mechanical defects were recorded, the vehicle’s history warrants a thorough inspection of critical systems. A qualified technician should check suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, for wear, and verify brake disc condition and caliper function, as these are common areas for gradual deterioration. The exhaust system and corrosion resistance should also be assessed, particularly if the vehicle has been exposed to harsh weather. The absence of recorded defects is reassuring, but the repeated testing without findings highlights the importance of a physical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s current state.
