Our Verdict
A viable option for those seeking a high
Focus on the service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for the 2.0L diesel engine at this mileage. Check for evidence of oil leaks or turbo wear, which can be common in high-mileage diesel SUVs of this era.
Negotiate the price based on the vehicle's age and the odometer reading of 167,685 miles. Ensure that any gaps in the service record are questioned, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness, not overall mechanical maintenance.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Tiguan provides reasonable fuel economy for its size, though road tax for 2009 models is typically higher than for newer, lower-emission vehicles. Insurance groups for this model are generally mid-range, making it a moderately priced option to insure.
Maintenance costs are likely to increase given the vehicle's age and mileage. Budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items such as brakes and tyres, as well as potential age-related component failures.
Inspect the suspension arms and tyres carefully, as these are among the top failure reasons for this model according to aggregate data. Check the headlamps for clarity and correct operation, as these are also common points of failure for the Tiguan.
Given the 167,685 miles recorded, pay close attention to the clutch and dual-mass flywheel for signs of wear or shuddering during take-off. Examine the underbody for corrosion, which is a common concern for vehicles of this age in the UK.
This black 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L diesel has recorded 167,685 miles. Its MOT history from 2023 onwards is notably clean, with only one same-day failure in December 2023 and no defects recorded across five tests. While the mileage is above the model average, the recent test outcomes are consistent.
The Tiguan has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 85.6% based on an analysis of 197,822 vehicles.
