Our Verdict
A compelling choice for buyers seeking a
Focus your negotiation on the items flagged in the June 2026 MOT. The corrosion on the rear suspension arms and the condition of the rear brake discs are the primary points of concern and will likely require replacement soon. Ensure you verify the service history, specifically looking for records of timing belt and water pump replacement, which is critical for this 1968cc diesel engine given the vehicle's age.
The 1968cc diesel engine provides a balance of torque and efficiency suitable for a family SUV. Annual costs will include standard diesel fuel consumption and a mid-range insurance group. Maintenance costs are typical for a Volkswagen of this era, though the current MOT advisories mean the first year of ownership will likely involve higher-than-average spending on brakes and suspension.
Conduct a thorough inspection of the rear chassis and suspension. Specifically, look for the corrosion on the rear suspension arms and the pitting/scoring on the rear brake discs noted in the June 2026 MOT. Check the condition of all four tyres, as the history shows recurring issues with inner tyre wear (2025) and perishing/cracking (2026).
This silver 2016 Tiguan has covered 49,587 miles, which is significantly below the average for its age. While it has passed all five recorded MOT tests, the June 2026 inspection flagged corrosion on the rear suspension arms and worn rear brake discs. These findings, combined with previous tyre advisories, suggest a period of necessary maintenance is approaching.
The Tiguan has an average MOT pass rate of 85.6%, with suspension arms and tyres being among the most common failure points across the model range.
