2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CV10 FWD

The 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan demonstrates a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 26 July 2025 at 122,501 miles with zero defects recorded. Falling just one day shy of a year before the current date, this test remains highly relevant to the vehicle's present condition. This unblemished record across five consecutive annual tests indicates a well-maintained machine free from recurring mechanical or structural faults. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the previous owner addressed wear items proactively rather than allowing issues to escalate. The mileage accumulation remains remarkably steady, reflecting typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the July 2021 test at 92,122 miles and the July 2022 test at 99,285 miles, the Tiguan covered 7,163 miles. The following year saw a similar increase of 7,416 miles, reaching 106,701 miles by July 2023. The most recent interval shows a slightly higher accumulation of 8,010 miles, moving from 114,491 miles in July 2024 to 122,501 miles in July 2025. This consistent 7,500 to 8,000-mile annual average rules out prolonged periods of standing or excessively high wear, pointing to regular, reliable use. Despite the clean MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on the typical wear points for a sixteen-year-old Tiguan of this mileage. A buyer should physically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as these components endure significant stress over 122,000 miles. Brake disc thickness and caliper operation require verification, even if no binding was flagged, alongside a thorough check of the underbody and sills for corrosion. The exhaust system and its emissions hardware also warrant close scrutiny to ensure compliance and structural integrity remain intact.
