2008 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · AG08 SVF

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 February 2026 at 131,047 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with clean sheets. The history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that clears the MOT threshold without flagged wear on brakes, suspension, or structure. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,280 miles per year against the 131,047 miles recorded. The records show steady accumulation: 96,397 miles in September 2022, 110,746 at the September 2023 pass, 123,256 by September 2024, and 131,047 by February 2026. A failed test on 11 September 2023 at 110,720 miles was logged with no defects recorded, then the same day a pass issued at 110,746 miles; this suggests an administrative or measurement anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass sequence. The MOT does not assess overall condition of coil springs, suspension bushes, or brake disc thickness beyond test-day limits, and at 131,000 miles these components sit within normal wear range for a 2008 chassis. Check for corrosion on subframes and sills, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and confirm the DSG or manual drivetrain shows no binding or fluid leakage. The absence of advisories across five years implies previous owners addressed issues before test rather than running to failure. Given the age, budget for imminent consumable replacement such as wiper blades, brake pads, and exhaust hangers regardless of the clean record.
