2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · AF66 ELV

The 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 April 2026 at 81,336 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or recurring defect cycle. Recorded mileage sits at 81,336 against a ten-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,134 miles per year and matching typical use for this model age. The tests cluster annually between 2023 and 2026 with readings of 65,749, 71,059, 76,663 and 81,336 miles, showing steady accumulation of about 5,000 to 5,600 miles per interval. A single anomaly appears on 4 September 2023 where the tester issued a fail at 65,749 miles yet logged no defects; the same-day pass at identical mileage suggests an administrative or data-recording error rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. Given the absence of flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion, the MOT record implies the previous keeper maintained basic consumable and mechanical upkeep. A clean four-year sweep with no advisories points to a vehicle that has not suffered neglected tyre tread, binding calipers or roadworthiness escapes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and suspension components, as MOT passes without advisories do not capture incipient corrosion or worn bushes below test thresholds. Verify service history to confirm interim fluid and timing belt care not visible in the MOT data, and confirm the September 2023 duplicate entry with DVSA to rule out omitted failure detail.
