Our Verdict
This is a solid recommendation for a buy
When inspecting this Tiguan, focus on the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, as this is vital for long-term reliability. Given the 2023 MOT failure for worn brake pads and tyres, check the current condition of the braking system and tyre tread depths to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit again.
Negotiate based on the remaining life of consumables. Since the vehicle has travelled nearly 50,000 miles, check if the cambelt and water pump have been replaced, as this is a common interval requirement for this engine type. Ask for documentation proving these major service items have been addressed.
As a 1968cc diesel, this Tiguan is designed for efficient long-distance cruising. You can expect reasonable fuel economy, though costs will fluctuate based on driving style and load. Tax and insurance will depend on the specific trim level and driver profile, but the 2.0L engine typically sits in a mid-range insurance group.
Maintenance costs for Volkswagen components tend to be higher than for budget brands, particularly for suspension and braking components. Expect annual running costs to be moderate, primarily driven by diesel fuel prices and scheduled servicing.
Specifically review the tyres and brakes. The MOT history shows a failure in April 2023 where both front tyres were below the 1.6mm requirement and both front brake pads were wearing thin. Ensure the current set of tyres shows even wear and that there is no excessive vibration when braking.
Additionally, keep an eye on suspension components. While this specific vehicle has no recorded suspension failures, 'suspension arm' is a top MOT failure reason for this model aggregate. Check for any knocks or knocks when driving over bumps to ensure the front-end components are secure.
This 2018 white Volkswagen Tiguan has covered 49,276 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 8,543 miles per year. While it experienced an MOT failure in 2023 due to tyre tread and brake pad wear, it has passed its last two tests with no defects recorded. The vehicle presents as a lower-mileage example of the 2.0L diesel variant.
The Tiguan shows an average MOT pass rate of 85.6% across the analysed sample, with common issues relating to tyres, suspension, and headlamps.
