2011 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · EO61 AYW

The 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 2026-04-08 at 111,515 miles passing with zero defects recorded. This is a strong indicator of current roadworthiness. The vehicle has consistently passed its annual tests across the available history, with no advisories or failures noted in any of the recorded entries. The maintenance pattern is stable and suggests attentive ownership, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults appearing over successive inspections. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the September 2023 test at 87,095 miles and the March 2025 test at 98,306 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 11,211 miles over roughly 18 months, equating to around 7,474 miles per year. The jump from March 2025 to April 2026 shows 13,209 miles added in approximately 13 months, which is slightly above the long-term average of roughly 7,434 miles per year but not unusually so. The 2024-04-04 entry appears to be a duplicate or re-test on the same day as the 2024-04-08 pass, both recorded at 89,660 miles, suggesting a same-day retest with no defects found. Overall, the mileage progression is consistent and does not raise concerns about long periods of inactivity or excessive use. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection. At 111,515 miles and 15 years of age, consumable components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers may be approaching the end of their service life even if no defects were flagged. The braking system, including discs, pads, and calipers, warrants close examination for uneven wear or binding. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should be inspected for corrosion and emissions compliance, particularly given the vehicle's age. Structural integrity beneath the car, including subframes and sills, should be checked for corrosion, as these are common failure points on older Tiguans. Tyre condition and alignment should also be assessed, as uneven wear can indicate underlying suspension or steering issues not always captured in an MOT.
