2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FA15 RMY

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 4 June 2026 at 109,077 miles, which recorded no defects. This follows a period of escalating suspension and tyre-related advisories between 2021 and 2025, suggesting a trend of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The absence of any advisories in the latest inspection indicates that the previous mechanical issues have been addressed, moving the vehicle from a period of worsening wear into a stable condition. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,900 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with the distance between the June 2025 test at 103,231 miles and the June 2026 test at 109,077 miles showing a normal annual interval. There are no signs of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes that would typically indicate heavy commercial use or neglect. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension system during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and suspension arm bushes, specifically noted in the June 2024 and June 2025 tests. While the 2026 test was clear, these components are known wear items on this model. The history also flags intermittent issues with shock absorber oil misting and leaks, such as the serious fluid leak noted in July 2020 and the light misting in 2023 and 2024. The record also highlights a pattern of neglected tyre maintenance, with multiple failures and advisories regarding tread depth and uneven wear between 2018 and 2022. Although the most recent test was clear, the buyer should check the current condition of all four tyres and the brake discs. The 2021 test noted pitted or scored rear brake discs, so verifying the current thickness and surface quality of the braking components is advisable to ensure no further degradation has occurred.
