2009 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · AE59 JRO

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 117,718 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 4 July 2024 at 110,290 miles. The failed entry logged on the same 4 July 2024 date at 110,290 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five entries from 27 June 2022 to June 2025, the vehicle cleared every test with zero advisories, confirming no worsening pattern of wear or recurring faults. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2009 vehicle. The record shows 96,717 miles in June 2022, rising to 103,072 by June 2023, 110,290 by July 2024, and 117,718 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 7,000 miles per year, matching the expected average for the age. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear between tests, and the clean advisory history suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The MOT record carries no flagged items on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, so no specific component trend demands scrutiny from the data alone. Given the Tiguan is now 17 years old with 117,718 miles, the tester should verify underbody structural integrity, check for latent corrosion around sills and subframes, and confirm brake caliper operation and tyre condition that a pass with no advisories would not expose in detail. The absence of advisories across four consecutive passes implies the previous owner addressed wear proactively rather than deferring consumables. This is a favourable signal for a high-mileage older SUV, though DVSA results reflect test-day condition only. Pre-purchase checks on drivetrain mounts and dampers remain sensible given the mileage.
