2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · BL17 ACO

The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 4 June 2025 at 70,243 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across its recorded history. In the preceding test on 2 June 2025 at 70,242 miles the vehicle failed yet the tester logged no defects, an irregularity pointing to administrative or clerical anomaly rather than mechanical fault; the immediate subsequent pass confirms compliance. Prior annual examinations from May 2022 through May 2024 recorded passes with zero advisories at 38,307, 48,253 and 56,698 miles respectively, showing no escalating wear or recurring faults. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 38,307 miles in the May 2022 test to 48,253 by June 2023, then to 56,698 by May 2024, and reached 70,243 by June 2025. This equates to roughly 7,800 to 13,500 miles per intervening year, close to the 7,805 annual average and showing no prolonged standing or abrupt accumulation. The DVSA dataset is sparse but uniformly clean aside from the anomalous 2025 fail, indicating previous owners maintained basic test compliance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable and structural items not captured by the bare MOT record. At 70,243 miles and nine years old, suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs will likely exhibit age-related wear even if not flagged. The DVSA record shows no corrosion or exhaust emissions issues, but structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants visual checks for rust. Verify the reason behind the June 2025 fail with no defects via the DVSA portal, and examine tyre tread, wiper blades and binding calipers during a road test to confirm ongoing reliability.
