2011 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CT11 FUB

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy following the January 2026 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 9 January 2026 at 172,954 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every recorded test resulting in a pass aside from a same-day failure on 9 January 2026 that listed no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or recurring defects appear in the five-year record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2011 vehicle, averaging roughly 11,530 miles per year against the 172,954 miles recorded. The tests show 144,459 miles on 21 December 2022, 154,314 on 11 January 2024, 162,718 on 9 January 2025, and 172,954 on 9 January 2026, equating to around 9,000 to 10,000 miles annually in recent years. A gap exists between the 2022 and 2024 entries with no 2023 test logged, but the clean passes since suggest no neglected upkeep was flagged in that window. The absence of recorded advisories means the MOT data gives no direct warning on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of these components given the 15-year age and high mileage, as worn trailing arm bushes or corroded subframes commonly escape annual testing until failure. The January 2026 same-day fail with no defects warrants confirmation the V5C and DVSA log match to rule out a clerical error. Given the sparse but clean record, previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance without deferred presentations. The Tiguan shows no worsening pattern, yet in-person checks of drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions remain prudent before purchase.
