2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CA64 TTY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of neglected wear components and deferred repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 102,898 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories regarding front suspension arm bushes and worn front tyres. These issues are a continuation of faults flagged during the 2025 test, suggesting that while the vehicle remains operational, certain mechanical components are not being proactively replaced before reaching failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,350 miles per year. There is a steady progression of roughly 13,000 miles between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, and another 12,300 miles leading into the January 2026 inspection. This regular usage suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which explains the gradual degradation of the rubber-based suspension components and the thinning of the brake pads noted in the more recent records. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the nearside and offside lower suspension arm bushes have been flagged for wear across two consecutive years. The recurring nature of this fault indicates the bushes are nearing the end of their functional life and will soon affect handling precision. Furthermore, the failure in 2025 due to thin rear brake pads—measured at less than 1.5mm—highlights a pattern of only addressing consumables when they trigger an MOT failure. The front tyres should also be checked for depth, as the latest report noted them being near the legal limit with uneven edge wear, which may indicate an alignment issue.
