2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · DA18 KDO

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 61,689 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since September 2022. The owner has clearly kept the vehicle to a standard that satisfies annual statutory testing without accruing advisories or rectification work. Annual mileage sits at a modest 7,711 across the eight-year life, with the record showing 36,683 miles at the 27 September 2022 test, 45,056 miles on 11 September 2023, 53,647 miles on 18 September 2024, and 61,689 miles on 16 September 2025. The spread is even at roughly 8,000 miles per year with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The sole anomaly is a failed test on 11 September 2023 at 45,055 miles, immediately followed by a pass at 45,056 miles the same day with no defects listed, pointing to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of recorded advisories across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT history alone reveals no recurring wear trends requiring concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion, tyre condition, and brake caliper operation, as these items escape MOT notation until they breach limits. The clean sheet implies conscientious previous ownership, but low mileage can mask perished rubber components and seized linkages from infrequent use.
