2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · YS15 ADO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift towards suspension-related wear. The most recent test on August 3, 2026, at 73,780 miles passed with new advisories for a nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint with slight play and an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This indicates that after several years of clean records, the vehicle is now entering a phase where rubber components and tyres require proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year over its eleven-year life. The data shows steady usage, moving from 23,379 miles in 2018 to the current 73,780 miles. There are no signs of long periods of inactivity that would suggest seal degradation, though the interval between the 2025 and 2026 tests shows standard annual accumulation. The low annual mileage generally suggests against age-related degradation of components rather than high-mileage mechanical strain. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension, as the history reveals a recurring issue with control arm bushes. The 2021 test flagged deteriorated rear bushes and wishbone wear, which culminated in a failure in July 2022 with split mounting bushes on both front arms. While these were repaired to achieve the subsequent passes, the 2026 advisory regarding the anti-roll bar ball joint suggests the front end geometry is beginning to age again. A physical inspection for further play in the ball joints and bushings is necessary. The edge wear on the offside front tyre noted in the latest report also warrants a check for alignment or a worn camber component. The buyer should verify the tread pattern across all tyres to ensure the suspension issues are not causing uneven wear. Beyond these specific mechanical items, the history is remarkably clean, suggesting the structural integrity and emissions systems have remained well-maintained, though the rubber components remain the primary area of concern.
