2013 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · BD63 DWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 28 October 2025 at 184,257 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improving stability following a significant failure in late 2022. While the December 2022 test revealed multiple critical safety and roadworthiness-related failures, including a fractured nearside rear coil spring and an excessively worn anti-roll bar ball joint, the subsequent passes indicate that these mechanical faults were addressed and rectified. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent and heavy accumulation, for example, over 9,000 miles covered between November 2024 and October 2025, and another 9,000 miles between November 2023 and November 2024. This high mileage places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, suggesting the car has been used regularly for long-distance travel. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, as the history highlights recurring issues in this area. The 2022 failure for a broken coil spring and worn anti-roll bar ball joint suggests that the suspension components may be nearing the end of their functional life cyclically. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of the offside front tyre being worn to the limit or unevenly across 2022 and 2023 indicate a potential alignment issue or camber fault that requires monitoring to prevent car tyre wear. The artwork has been a recurring point ofion, with damage noted in both December 2022 and November 2024. While these did not result in failures at the time, the repeated impact suggests the glass may be prone to stone chips. Given the high mileage, a physical check of the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding is also advised to ensure the high-mileage operation has not compromised the braking system.
