VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN2010 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-26 at 138,348 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2025-01-30 (130,827 miles) and 2024-01-31 (123,049 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2025-01-29 (130,826 miles) occurred without recorded defects. This suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance, though the unexplained failure may reflect administrative or procedural discrepancies rather than mechanical concerns. The absence of recurring faults in subsequent tests implies the issue was isolated. Mileage progression shows consistent annual usage of approximately 8,647 miles, aligning with typical patterns for a 16-year-old vehicle. The gap between the 2023-01-30 test (113,510 miles) and 2024-01-31 test (123,049 miles) reflects a 9,539-mile increase, while the 2025-01-30 test (130,827 miles) added 7,778 miles. These figures suggest regular operation without prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of corrosion or component degradation from standing. The MOT history lacks significant gaps, indicating a steady maintenance routine. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, as prolonged use may affect bushes or coil springs, and inspect brake systems for wear, given the vehicle’s high mileage. While no defects were recorded, the 2025 failure without explanation warrants scrutiny of underlying issues, such as electrical faults or emission system irregularities. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be confirmed, as these are common age-related concerns. The vehicle’s compliance history supports its reliability but does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
