2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CU65 AVT

The 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 13 October 2025 at 80,129 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The tester recorded no defects at that test. This follows a failed examination on 10 October 2025 at 80,108 miles where, unusually, no specific defects were listed by the DVSA system, suggesting an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault, given the clean pass three days later. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old vehicle, with 80,129 miles recorded against the 2025 test equating to roughly 7,284 miles per year. The record shows 60,191 miles at the August 2023 test, rising to 68,096 by August 2024 and 68,441 by October 2024, then jumping to 80,108 by October 2025. That final twelve-month period added near 11,700 miles, a sharper rise than prior years but not abnormal. The history is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories or defects logged on any pass, which limits insight into wear patterns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the age and the unexplained October 2025 failure with no recorded defect. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the data is reassuring, yet MOT entries capture only test-day condition. Verify the vehicle's standing periods and confirm the reason for the 10 October 2025 failure through DVSA channels, as the missing defect data leaves a minor gap in the maintenance narrative that warrants clarification before purchase.
