2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · YB14 AED

The vehicle holds a clean MOT record across every test documented. The most recent pass in June 2025 at 124,195 miles returned no defects or advisories, and every prior test since May 2022 did the same. The maintenance trend is therefore stable, with no recorded deterioration in brakes, suspension, tyres, or structural integrity. The June 2024 failure at 120,287 miles is a quirk of the data, as it lists no defects and was immediately followed by a pass two days later at the same mileage, indicating a re-test or clerical issue rather than a genuine mechanical fault. The mileage pattern is entirely consistent with normal use over the vehicle's lifetime. The car covered roughly 10,350 miles per year on average, which is typical for its age and fuels an expectation of balanced wear across the drivetrain and suspension. Between May 2023 and June 2024, the odometer rose from 113,459 to 120,287, a spread of about 6,828 miles, which is moderate. The final recorded interval, from June 2024 to June 2025, shows just 3,908 miles covered, suggesting lighter recent use. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden accumulation spikes in the history, so the recorded mileage is credible and reflects steady, ordinary usage rather than hard commercial duty or long periods of standing. Because the MOT history contains no advisories whatsoever, there are no recurring faults flagged for a buyer to chase down. That said, the absence of fail history does not exempt the car from a physical inspection. On a 12-year-old Tiguan with 124,000 miles, the high-wear items to scrutinise are suspension bushes and coil springs, brake disc wear and caliper slide performance, and any corrosion on sills, floor pans, or subframes. The MOT record also tells nothing about service history, so evidence of regular oil changes and cambelt or chain replacement should be verified separately. A pre-purchase inspection by a competent mechanic is advisable to confirm that the clean MOT history reflects actual mechanical condition rather than a lack of recorded detail.
