2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · AF65 MYK

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 114,425 miles. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that any identified issues were addressed immediately. The maintenance trend over the last two years suggests a proactive approach to repairs, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record since the early 2025 inspections. The mileage profile is consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. There is a notable period of high activity between January 2025 and February 2026, where the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation places significant demand on wear items such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension components. The short interval between the two tests in January 2025 suggests the owner may have been seeking an early test or responding to a specific mechanical concern rather than waiting for the standard annual renewal. Given the high mileage and the recent spike in usage, a buyer must focus on the physical condition of the suspension bushes and brake assembly. High mileage on Tiguan models often leads to premature wear of control arm bushings and coil springs, which manifest as handling instability. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the subframe, as the MOT record does not highlight any historical issues yet. Checking for oil leaks around the shock absorbers is also essential to ensure the high annual mileage has not compromised the primary damping system.
