2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · 2 NGH

A consistent track record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle, showing no recorded failures or defects across its five-year testing history. The most recent inspection on 07 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no advisories, following two consecutive years of identical clean results in 2025 and 2024. While a single instance of tyre wear was noted as an advisory in July 2023, the subsequent two years of testing indicate that such consumable wear has been addressed and has not transitioned into a recurring mechanical pattern or structural issue. The vehicle's usage profile shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,226 miles per year, which is consistent with typical long-distance or mixed-use driving for a nine-year-old vehicle. With a total recorded mileage of 56,032 as of the latest test, the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to the high-frequency cycles associated with heavy commercial or high-mileage motorway use. This moderate mileage suggests that while wear on consumables like brake pads and tyres is expected, the vehicle has not undergone the accelerated degradation often seen in much higher-mileage examples of this age. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition, given the advisory recorded in 2023 regarding nearside and offside front tyre wear. Although the 2024 and 2025 tests showed no further issues, it is prudent to check the current tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns on the inner or outer edges of the front tyres. Uneven wear can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes; therefore, during a test drive, pay close attention to whether the steering pulls to one side or if there is any vibration through the steering wheel at motorway speeds. Beyond the tyre history, the lack of recorded advisories for brake pipe corrosion, exhaust emissions, or suspension component play is a positive indicator of the vehicle's documented roadworthiness. However, because MOT tests are visual inspections of components at a specific point in time, a test drive should still be used to listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension over speed bumps and to check for any binding or judder when applying the brakes. The absence of recorded oil misting or fluid leaks in the MOT history suggests the engine and gearbox seals have remained intact through the recent testing cycles.
