2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · DP67 ELV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 56,186 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend across the last five years, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept to a functional standard without any recurring mechanical failures or escalating safety issues. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap between the December 2021 test at 17,686 miles and the January 2023 test at 31,555 miles, where the vehicle covered over 14,000 miles in just thirteen months. Since then, usage has remained steady, with increments of roughly 6,500 to 7,500 miles between annual inspections. This low cumulative mileage generally reduces the stress on the drivetrain components and suspension assembly compared to higher-mileage examples. Because the MOT record shows no previous advisories for suspension bushes, brake components, or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of consumables that are not fully captured by a stationary test. Check for uneven tyre wear and inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting, which can occur even with low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, one should also look for any degradation in rubber seals or suspension bushings, as these materials can age over time regardless of the distance driven.
