2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · DG15 RBU

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently rated as failing , with a clear and persistent trend of deterioration. The most recent MOT test in late 2026 was passed at 79,868 miles, but the vehicle has demonstrably deteriorated since that date. Since the 2025-02-07 test, the engine has failed twice, and the rear suspension arms have corroded in both front and rear positions. This indicates that the owner has not maintained the vehicle at a standard safety standard, leading to significant wear on critical components that are now approaching the limits of the 5.3.3 (b) (i) and 5.2.3 (e) categories. The mileage pattern reveals a rapid accumulation of wear that is not consistent with typical usage, particularly given the vehicle's age. The 71,953-mile pass in February 2025 was followed immediately by a failed test in February 2025 at 71,953 miles, suggesting the vehicle has not been driven for over a year in good condition. This pattern of rapid mileage accumulation combined with the engine failure and suspension corrosion suggests that the owner may have relied on a lower-tier maintenance regime, potentially skipping routine inspections or using a spare car for the vehicle's use. Given the recurring faults in the suspension, brakes, and engine, the vehicle requires immediate professional inspection and repair to prevent further damage to the drivetrain and safety. The owner must address the corrosion on the suspension arms and the pitting of brake discs and engine components before the vehicle can be safely driven again. A buyer should expect to incur substantial costs for diagnosis and restoration work, as the structural integrity of the chassis and the drivetrain are compromised by the repeated failures and wear patterns observed in the MOT record.
