2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · DK17 DAK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistent clean record over the last five years. The most recent test in October 2025 at 100,025 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all regulatory standards. This stable trend suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed maintenance requirements, as no recurring mechanical or structural failures appear throughout the documented history. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per annum. Between the October 2021 test at 44,109 miles and the October 2024 test at 87,073 miles, the vehicle covered over 43,000 miles. This steady accumulation is typical of long-distance motorway use which often prevents the accelerated degradation associated with short-city driving or long stationary periods. The lack of any recorded failures despite this high mileage indicates that the drivetrain and chassis components have been subjected to regular loads without reaching point of premature failure. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to high-mileage wear. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes for signs of tearing and check the coil springs for fractures, as the 100,000-mile mark often coincides with rubber-component fatigue. Given the mileage, verifying the brake discs for thinning and checking the calipers for binding is also prudent. Inspection of the underbody for surface corrosion is necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the MOT records suggest.
