2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CT02 ALE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 October 2025 at 159,494 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of perfect results across the last five tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components have met minimum safety standards without recurring failures, despite the high-age status. The mileage data reveals a significant surge in usage during recent years. Between September 2019 and August 2022, the Tiguan covered 33,861 miles, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year. However, the interval between August 2022 and October 2024 saw a massive accumulation of 119,030 miles in just twenty-four months. This discrepancy between the 2024 entry of 240,680 miles and the 2025 entry of 159,494 miles suggests a serious clerical error in the DVSA database or odometer tampering, as the mileage cannot decrease. Given the high mileage and the erratic spike in use, a physical inspection must focus on heavy-duty components. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes, control arms, and shock absorbers for accelerated wear, which typically occurs rapidly after 150,000 miles. Particular attention is required regarding the brake discs and calipers for signs of thinning or corrosion on the exhaust system and chassis underside, as high-frequency motorway use often masks the degradation of rubber components and metal hardware.
