2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · Y19 JCR

This Volkswagen Tiguan presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 122,546 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is typical for a sixteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,659 miles per year. The distance covered between the November 2021 test at 102,647 miles and the August 2025 test at 122,546 miles shows steady, regular usage. A brief anomaly appears in July 2024, where the vehicle failed a test at 115,122 miles and passed less than a month later at 115,123 miles. The lack of recorded defects for either entry suggests a clerical error or a failure on a non-mechanical administrative point rather than a mechanical fault. Despite the clean record, the age and mileage of this Tiguan necessitate a targeted physical inspection. The absence of advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage and may indicate that maintenance is performed externally between tests to ensure a clean pass. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for this model that may not be flagged until they become critical. Priority should be given to inspecting the condition of the brake discs and suspension bushes. While the MOT records show no failures, these components naturally degrade at 122,000 miles. Verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these critical engine components are not assessed during a standard MOT test but are vital for the long term viability of the drivetrain.
