2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · DX66 OFG

The 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a consistent MOT history, though recent data indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. In the most recent test in June 2025 at 108,239 miles, the vehicle passed despite the tester identifying nails in the offside rear tyre. This follows a recurring pattern seen in the 2022 test at 44,469 miles, where both the nearside front and offside rear tyres showed signs of cracking or perishing. While these are minor consumable issues, the frequency of tyre advisories suggests the owner addresses components as necessary rather than performing preventative replacements before failure. The mileage progression shows a steady increase over the five-year period. The vehicle travelled from 22,841 miles in 2021 to 108,239 miles by 2025, averaging approximately 21,000 miles per year. This is significantly higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age, which explains the wear on brake components and tyres. The 2023 and 2024 tests were clean with no recorded defects, indicating that the structural integrity and mechanical systems remained sound during those intervals despite the high usage. Brake components and suspension require close attention during a physical inspection. In June 2021, the nearside and offside rear brake discs were noted as worn and pitted, though they did not reach the point of failure. Given the high mileage accumulation, a buyer should verify the current thickness of the brake pads and the state of the suspension bushes, which are common points of wear on this model. There is no recorded history of structural corrosion or emulsion failures in the data, which is a positive sign for the vehicle's overall longevity.
