2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CV66 VXG

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 March 2025 at 76,720 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with clean sheets. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-entry history, so the vehicle shows no worsening pattern of wear or neglected upkeep across its recorded life. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2016 plate, averaging roughly 7,672 miles per year against the 76,720 miles recorded. The gap between the October 2023 test at 61,760 miles and the March 2025 test at 76,720 miles covers only about 15,000 miles across seventeen months, indicating light use rather than rapid accumulation. The record is sparse but clean; the only blemish is a fail on 7 October 2022 at 45,578 miles that was immediately cleared on 10 October 2022 at 45,580 miles with no defects listed, pointing to a minor administrative or retest correction rather than a genuine mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass sequence. The absence of advisories means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or thinning brake discs, but MOT snapshots do not measure component life remaining. Given the car is now over ten years old, examine the front coil springs, subframe mounts, and exhaust for age-related corrosion that a visual test might miss. Check the service history to confirm cambelt and haldex intervals were met, as the low yearly mileage can mask overdue maintenance from standing periods. The clean MOT trail suggests the previous owners kept basic statutory compliance in order, yet only a workshop ramp inspection will confirm the drivetrain and underbody condition implied by the records.
