2008 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CU58 HSV

The most recent MOT test on May 22nd, 2026, passed, but it noted several wear items on the suspension components, specifically worn arm pins or bushes on both the front and rear suspension arms. The history shows a pattern of issues, with a failure recorded in May 2025 concerning a fractured or broken offside front coil spring. This indicates that mechanical components are experiencing wear and failure over time. The trend in the MOT history shows that while the vehicle passed the most recent test, there have been specific component failures noted previously, suggesting a pattern of wear rather than an immediate improvement. The mileage of 143,270 miles for a 2008 model is consistent with the expected usage for its age, suggesting typical wear on consumables and suspension parts is likely present. A buyer should first thoroughly inspect the front and rear suspension components, paying close attention to the arm pins and bushes mentioned in the latest report, as these were flagged. Secondly, given the past failure involving a coil spring, checking the general condition of the suspension system and any associated steering components is crucial. Finally, inspect the tyres, as the history shows them being worn close to the legal limit in a previous test, which is a standard area for immediate inspection.
