2013 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CJ12 DUN

The vehicle currently faces a significant roadworthiness risk as the 2023-2025 test record indicates a failure of the windscreen washer and wiper blade. This defect is not merely a consumable wear item but a critical structural failure that compromises the vehicle's ability to function safely, suggesting a trend of neglect or a lack of regular maintenance. The 2026-2025 period shows no further defects, implying the issue was likely addressed, but the gap between the 2025 and 2023 tests highlights a potential gap in upkeep that could have led to catastrophic failure. The mileage pattern suggests rapid accumulation of wear on the drivetrain components, with the 2025 test at 73,107 miles preceding the 2023-2024 test at 58,132 miles. While the 2026 test at 85,248 miles is a stable baseline, the data points indicate that the vehicle has not been maintained for several years, and the lack of defects in the 2026-2025 test does not preclude the possibility of hidden issues that would have been exposed during the 2025 inspection. The 2023-2024 test at 58,132 miles is the most critical data point, showing that the vehicle was tested in the same year as the failure event, which strongly suggests that the 2025-2026 period was a period of significant inactivity or abandonment. Consequently, a buyer must perform an in-person inspection to verify the condition of the windscreen washer and wiper blade, as well as assess the overall structural integrity of the suspension and brakes. Given the gap between the 2025 and 2023 tests, it is advisable to have the 2026-2027 test conducted at a minimum 1500 miles to ensure the vehicle meets the 100% safety standard. The history of failing the windscreen washer and wiper blade indicates a potential trend of basic upkeep being skipped, which could lead to severe structural damage if the vehicle is not serviced promptly.
