2011 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · BA55 AAA

The 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a consistent history of roadworthiness over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 103,142 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all primary safety and emissions standards. This follows a positive trend seen in the 2022 and 2024 tests where the car also passed without advisories. The lack of recurring failures suggests that the previous owners have been proactive in addressing mechanical issues before they could result in an MOT failure. The vehicle has covered 103,142 miles over its life, averaging out to approximately 6,876 miles per annum. This is well within the expected range for a vehicle of this age, suggesting lower-than average wear on heavy components like the gearbox and suspension bushings. However, the record shows a specific failure in October 2023 at 94,578 miles. The fact that the vehicle passed the re-test later on the same day indicates that the specific fault was identified and rectified immediately rather than being ignored or allowed to chronic neglect. Given the clean status of the most recent entries, the buyer should focus on the typical wear points for a Tiguan of this mileage. While the MOT record does not flag ongoing structural corrosion or binding calipers, a physical inspection of the rear suspension arms and the underbody for surface rust remains advisable. Since there are no active advisories listed in the latest two tests, the vehicle appears to have been maintained to a functional standard, though the buyer should still verify the condition of the brake pads and tyres as these consumables are not fully covered by the annual test.
