2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CX15 NHG

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 23 March 2026 at 122,936 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The test on 17 March 2026 at the same mileage returned a fail with no defects recorded, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared four days later. No advisories or defects appear on any test from 2023 through 2026, indicating no escalating wear pattern across the suspension, braking, or emissions systems. Mileage rose from 89,442 at the 16 March 2023 test to 101,611 by 25 March 2024, then 112,757 on 24 March 2025, reaching 122,936 for the March 2026 tests. That equates to roughly 11,000 miles per year, consistent with typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle and showing no abrupt accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA record is sparse in faults, with five consecutive annual tests showing clean results apart from the anomalous March 2026 fail, so the data gives little evidence of deferred consumable upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component life remaining. The Tiguan's structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be checked, particularly around sills and subframes where VAG models of this era trap moisture. Verify the reason for the 17 March 2026 fail with the test centre, since a no-defect failure often signals a documentation mismatch rather than a roadworthiness concern.
