2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CU14 JTV

The 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 97,915 miles. The tester recorded no defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. While a failed test appears on 26 March 2024 at 74,066 miles, the record shows a pass on the exact same day and mileage, suggesting a same-day retest following a minor rectification. The absence of advisories across the entire history points to a well-maintained vehicle with no lingering mechanical or structural concerns. The annual mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 8,160 miles per year overall. The yearly intervals show consistent usage, with 11,944 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, 12,739 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, and 11,110 miles between March 2025 and April 2026. This steady, moderate accumulation suggests regular, mixed driving rather than prolonged standing or exclusively short urban trips, which bodes well for the mechanical health of the drivetrain and exhaust system. Despite the flawless MOT record, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the undercarriage and suspension components. Even with consistent use, a twelve-year-old SUV will exhibit natural wear on suspension bushes and drop links that might not yet constitute a testable failure. Inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, paying close attention to mounting points and seam seals for early signs of corrosion. Check the condition of the brake discs and calipers for any scoring or binding, and verify the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion. Given the vehicle's age, assessing the condition of the tyres for uneven wear or cracking remains a prudent step before purchase.
