2019 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · DP60 ENG

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test in June 2025 at 88,705 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend following a specific mechanical failure in the previous year. The transition from a failure to a clean pass in subsequent testing suggests that the owner was proactive in addressing identified faults, ensuring the vehicle met minimum safety and emissions standards. At 88,705 miles over seven years, this Tiguan has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per annum, which sits above the national average for a passenger vehicle. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with a jump of 16,452 miles recorded between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 15,123 miles covered in the year leading to today test. This high rate of operation places significant demand on wear-related components, particularly the suspension and braking system, compared to lower mileage examples. The failure in June 2024 at 73,532 miles highlighted excessive wear on the nearside front suspension arm bush and noted wear on the offside equivalent. While these issues were rectified to achieve the 2025 pass, the high mileage suggests other rubber bushings and joints are likely nearing their service life. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the chassis to check for play in the control arms and tearing in the remaining suspension bushes, as these components often fail in pairs. Given the mileage accumulation, the inspection should also focus on the condition of the brake discs and calipers for signs of thinning or uneven wear. The structural integrity of the underside should be verified for corrosion, particularly at mounting points, although no structural advisories were raised in the provided records. The history reflects a vehicle that is used regularly and requires diligent monitoring of suspension-related components to prevent further mechanical failures.
