2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · DL67 KVB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. Following a failure in June 2023, the Tiguan passed its last three consecutive tests without any recorded defects. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 79,250 miles confirms that the previous mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. There is a notable spike in usage between June 2024 and July 2025, where the car covered over 12,000 miles in just thirteen months. However, the short interval of only 11 miles between the July 2025 and August 2025 tests suggests a re-test or an administrative follow-up, which does not indicate significant mechanical strain on the vehicle during that period. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and rear braking system. The June 2023 failure identified worn front suspension arm pins and bushes alongside thin rear brake pads. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, these components are prone to wear on a vehicle of this age. Inspect the suspension for any play in the rubberwork and check the rear brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as the record previously noted corrosion in that area.
