2020 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · E12 HAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the recent MOT history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent test in October 2025 at 110,580 miles resulted in a failure due to an inoperative engine management light and a damaged windscreen. While the car passed the immediate retest, the presence of an engine MIL fault suggests an underlying electronic or sensor issue that was addressed only after the test failure. The overall trend remains stable in terms of structural integrity but shows recurring minor electrical and peripheral failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 75,671 miles and October 2024 at 94,079 miles, the car covered 18,408 miles, showing a period of higher usage. The subsequent 16,501 miles covered in the following year return to a standard average. This usage level suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally prevents the premature degradation of mechanical components like suspension bushings and drivetrain seals. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the engine management system to ensure the previously reported MIL fault is fully resolved and not masking a deeper sensor failure. The failure in 2024 regarding the offside front headlamp indicates a potential lack of basic pre-test checks by the previous owner. Since the MOT record shows no recorded advisories for brake wear, tyre depth, or suspension corrosion, the physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of the bushes and checking for any fluid leaks that are common on Audis approaching the 110,000-mile mark.
