2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · EN66 XOA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 at 91,356 miles. The maintenance trend has stabilised following a period of mechanical concern in early 2024. While the two most recent tests show no mechanical failures, the presence of a child seat during the last two inspections prevented a full check of the nearside rear adult belt, meaning the functional integrity of that specific restraint point has not been fully verified recently. The mileage progression is consistent with typical annual-use patterns, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the vehicle covered 17,815 miles, indicating a period of higher usage compared to the interval of 14,939 miles recorded between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and engine seals. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system and electronic sensors. The January 2023 test at 47,188 miles flagged thin front pads and pitted discs, and the subsequent 2024 failure identified a malfunctioning brake warning device and a defective tyre pressure monitoring system. Although these were rectified to pass the later tests, a physical inspection must confirm that the pad warning light is now operational and that the brake components show no uneven wear. The oil leak noted under the under tray in January 2024 was described as not excessive, yet it remained a recurring advisory across two consecutive tests. The buyer should inspect the engine bay for active weeping and ensure the leak has not worsened over the year. Given the previous failure for headlamp aim issues in early 2024, verifying that the beams are currently correctly aligned is also a necessary step to ensure the vehicle meets safety standards for night driving.
