2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CU63 PXV

The 2025-08-14 MOT at 70,856 miles passed without any defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle currently satisfies the DVSA roadworthiness criteria and that the maintenance trend has improved following the earlier failures. Mileage has risen from 66,767 miles on 2024-08-06 and again on 2024-08-20 to 70,856 miles by 2025-08-14, an increase of 4,089 miles over approximately eleven months, which translates to roughly 4,400 miles per year — low for a twelve‑year‑old Tiguan and indicative of limited use or extended idle periods. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, inspect the rear brake calipers for binding and the brake discs for corrosion or excessive wear, and assess the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for structural rust, while also checking tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the exhaust system for corrosion or emission failures. The absence of recorded defects in the recent test suggests that any previous advisories have been addressed, but the repeated failures on the same dates imply that underlying mechanical issues may have required attention; verifying that those repairs were completed correctly is essential before purchase.
