2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · DE67 FSN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 3 September 2025 at 45,714 miles, which recorded no defects. While the history shows a period of recurring tyre issues between 2022 and 2024, the lack of advisories in the latest test suggests these consumable issues have been resolved. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, moving from a failed test in August 2023 to a clean certificate in the most recent inspection. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The records show a consistent, gradual increase in distance, moving from 21,190 miles in October 2020 to 45,714 miles in September 2025. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has seen light use, though such infrequent driving can sometimes lead to secondary issues like tyre perishing or battery degradation, which aligns with the tyre-related defects noted in earlier years. The MOT history highlights a recurring pattern of tyre degradation and damage. The tester flagged perishing and cracking on the rear tyres in the September 2022, August 2023, and August 2024 tests, alongside a failed test in August 2023 due to a deep cut in the nearside front tyre. This pattern suggests the previous owner may have neglected tyre replacement intervals or that the vehicle's low usage has caused the rubber to age and crack without sufficient rotational wear. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of all four tyres to ensure they are not showing signs of sidewall cracking or age-related perishing, despite the clean 2025 report. While the MOT record is currently free of structural or mechanical advisories regarding suspension, brakes, or exhaust emissions, the low mileage warrants a close look at the brake discs for surface corrosion and the battery health to ensure the vehicle has not sat idle for extended periods.
