2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · DC65 CWN

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 47,718 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since December 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any tested interval. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 29,240 miles at the 21 December 2021 test, rising to 33,361 by 7 December 2022, 37,515 by 8 December 2023, 42,591 by 20 November 2024, and 47,718 by the 2025 test. That equates to roughly 4,500 miles added each year, well below typical averages and confirming the low annual rate of about 4,772 miles. The history is sparse in faults but consistent in testing, with no gaps between annual examinations. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely periods of standing idle. Drivetrain seals and exhaust emissions components may degrade through inactivity rather than wear, and tyres can suffer sidewall cracking from age even without tread loss. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural advisories is reassuring, but DVSA tests do not strip panels or inspect hidden chassis sections. Previous owners appear to have maintained test compliance without deferring examinations, and the clean sheet suggests basic upkeep was not skipped. The lack of recurring consumable or mechanical flags points to careful, low-load operation rather than neglected high-mileage use.
