2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · EX64 EUL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2 June 2026 at 124,367 miles with no defects recorded, indicating that it remains roadworthy at the time of testing. The earlier failure on 9 June 2025 at 119,027 miles, which listed worn rear brake pads below 1.5 mm and a pitted rear disc, was subsequently remedied, as shown by the passing test on the same date. This resolution demonstrates a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening condition. Mileage accumulation over the past three years reflects a consistent annual increase of roughly 5,000–6,000 miles, moving from 107,851 miles in June 2023 to 124,367 miles in June 2026. The intervals between tests are regular, with no extended periods of inactivity evident, suggesting the owner has maintained regular usage and upkeep appropriate for a 12‑year‑old model with typical mileage for its age. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the components highlighted by the recurring rear‑brake findings: inspect the condition of the rear brake pads and discs for scoring, pitting or uneven wear, verify that the caliper pistons move freely and that the pads are not binding, and examine the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion. The exhaust system should be inspected for rust or cracks, tyre tread depth and even wear assessed, and any signs of structural rust on the chassis or wheel arches looked for, as these areas were not flagged in the latest test but may develop over time.
