2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · AV17 SNU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 17 September 2025 at 152,155 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over several years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a nine year old vehicle, averaging nearly 17,000 miles per year. The record shows rapid accumulation, particularly between September 2023 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 117,538 to 136,644 miles. A further 15,511 miles were added by the September 2025 test. This level of usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle with over 150,000 miles. No advisories for brake disc wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion appear across the five recorded tests. While the lack of flagged defects is positive, the high mileage means a buyer must manually verify the condition of consumables. Focus should be placed on the depth of tyre treads and the thickness of brake pads, as these are often replaced between tests and would not appear as faults in a clean pass. A physical inspection should prioritise the chassis and underside for signs of corrosion, which often develops in older high-mileage cars regardless of MOT outcomes. Check for any oil leaks from the engine or gearbox and listen for knocks from the coil springs or shock absorbers. Given the mileage, confirming a comprehensive service history for the timing belt and water pump is essential to avoid catastrophic engine failure.
