2011 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · DS11 UAL

The 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan is roadworthy according to the most recent MOT on 29 October 2025, where it passed after a corrective repair to the nearside headlamp that had initially failed the same day. No major defects were recorded, and the pattern of test outcomes shows no escalation of issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 102,572 mi on 11 November 2022 to 123,596 mi on 29 October 2025, an average of roughly 7,500 mi per year. This progression aligns with typical usage for a fifteen‑year‑old vehicle and shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods. The record contains no gaps that would suggest unrecorded high‑mileage intervals, reinforcing the impression of consistent, moderate use. A prospective buyer should verify that the nearside headlamp now operates correctly on dipped beam, as the 2025 failure highlights a recent electrical fault. The nearside rear lamp was noted as broken in the November 2024 test; confirming its replacement and proper sealing is advisable. Tyre wear was flagged on both front tyres in November 2023, so a visual inspection of current tread depth and sidewall condition is essential. Although brakes, suspension bushes, and structural integrity were not cited, a routine check of brake discs for scoring, suspension components for play, and the under‑carriage for corrosion will ensure no hidden deterioration has developed since the last test.
