2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · BJ65 VLE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 75,674 miles identified wear on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes. While these faults did not result in excessive movement at the time, they suggest the rubber components are beginning to reach their functional limit. The trend is stable in terms of passing, but the recurring flagging of wearable components requires consistent attention. At 75,674 miles, this 11-year-old Tiguan averages approximately 6,879 miles per year, which aligns with typical light usage for its vehicle class. The data shows consistent mileage progression, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 5,800 miles in the preceding year. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy stress, though it explains the age-related degradation of rubber parts seen in the record. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension to check for the extent of the arm bush wear noted in 2025. The 2022 record also highlighted pitted and scored front inner brake discs, so the buyer must verify if these were replaced or if they have continued to thin. Additionally, the history of tyre perishing and cracking in 2022, alongside uneven wear in 2024, indicates the previous owner may have neglected alignment issues or allowed tyres to age out. Check the current tyre set for even tread depth and sidewall cracking.
