2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · DD04 NAD

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 71,306 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 18 October 2023 at 52,812 miles that recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass two days later on 20 October 2023 at the same mileage. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the pattern since shows no worsening condition. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 41,530 miles at the 5 October 2022 test, rising to 52,812 miles by October 2023, 65,101 miles by 29 October 2024, and 71,306 miles by October 2025. Annual gains average roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The clean sequence of passes across those dates indicates the previous keeper kept to a regular servicing and testing rhythm. No advisories or defects appear across the entire history, so the MOT data raises no flags on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as the Tiguan's age makes hidden rust or worn consumables possible despite the clean record. Verify the 2023 fail was clerical by checking the DVSA failure reason, though the same-mileage pass implies no repair was needed.
