2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · CY16 CFD

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 23 May 2025 at 75,771 miles recording no defects. The clean pass follows a same-day failure on 23 May 2025 at 75,769 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or documentation rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in March 2024 at 67,019 miles, March 2023 at 58,018 miles, and February 2022 at 48,096 miles all passed with no advisories, showing a consistent absence of flagged wear across three years. The mileage pattern sits at roughly typical use for a 2016 vehicle, averaging near 7,577 miles per year against the 75,771 miles recorded. Annual accumulation stayed moderate: 9,922 miles between the February 2022 and March 2023 tests, then 9,001 miles to March 2024, and 8,752 miles to the May 2025 pass. The DVSA history is sparse but clean, with no recorded gaps exceeding thirteen months and no sudden high-use spikes that would accelerate drivetrain or suspension fatigue. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. With no advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, or coil springs across the record, these components may simply be within tolerance, yet ten-year-old VW front wishbone bushes and rear trailing arm mounts commonly degrade silently between tests. Examine the underside for corrosion at structural mounting points and check the exhaust emissions system, as the clean record gives no warning of pending failure. The same-day fail with zero defects suggests the seller or tester corrected a non-mechanical entry quickly; verify the V5C and test certificate match the 75,771-mile odometer before purchase.
