2011 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · AF60 JDJ

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 115,423 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 20 January 2025 at 109,101 miles is anomalous: the DVSA record shows no defects listed against that test, and the vehicle passed on the same day at the same mileage, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 7,695 miles, which is typical for a 15-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 97,231 miles in January 2023, 103,406 in January 2024, 109,101 in January 2025, and 115,423 in January 2026. The roughly 6,000-mile yearly increments reflect consistent, moderate use with no standing periods or sudden high-mileage bursts. The clean test history across these dates suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and mileage. No advisories for corrosion, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers appear in the record, so structural integrity looks sound on paper. The absence of flagged wear items means the MOT data alone gives no warning of impending consumable replacement. Given five consecutive passes with no recorded defects, the Tiguan shows a care pattern of routine annual testing and prompt correction of any issues. The clean sheet offers reasonable assurance, but physical checks of underbody rust and tyre sidewall condition remain sensible before purchase.
