2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · AF18 NUX

The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 March 2026 at 47,798 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results. The mileage pattern reflects light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. Annual accumulation stayed consistent and low, rising from 29,295 miles at the 7 March 2022 test to 43,822 miles by 27 February 2025, then 47,798 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 4,500 to 5,000 miles per year, well below typical family-SUV averages. The DVSA record shows no gaps, rapid jumps, or dormant periods, and the clean sheets across every entry indicate the previous keeper kept the car to a basic servicing rhythm with no deferred advisories. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection despite the spotless history. Low-mileage cars left standing for stretches can develop perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, or corroded brake discs that a pass without advisories will not always expose. The Tiguan's MQB-platform subframes and sills warrant a close check for structural rust, particularly around the rear axle mounts and door seams. Given the absence of any recorded faults across tyres, exhaust emissions, or steering components, the evidence points to a genuinely well-kept example. Verify the 2026 test certificate against the stated 47,798 miles and confirm the service book aligns with the low annual use before purchase.
