Our Verdict
Recommended, provided the corrosion issu
Your primary focus should be the corrosion advisories listed in the 2021 and 2024 MOT tests. Specifically, ask for evidence that the rear suspension arms and the rear anti-roll bar have been treated or replaced. You should also verify if the front inner and rear brake discs, flagged as worn and pitted in December 2024, were replaced before the most recent test.
Check the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has been serviced at regular intervals, as this is critical for long-term reliability. Given the low mileage, ensure the history is complete and matches the odometer reading to confirm the vehicle's usage patterns.
The 1968cc diesel engine offers a balance of power and efficiency suitable for a family SUV. While diesel fuel costs are generally lower per mile than petrol, you will need to account for the specific tax band for a 2016 registration and the insurance group associated with the Tiguan range.
Typical maintenance will include periodic brake replacements and suspension work, as evidenced by the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are expected to be moderate for a vehicle of this size and age.
Inspect the underbody specifically for corrosion on the rear suspension arms and the rear anti-roll bar, as these were highlighted in multiple MOT years. Check the front shock absorbers for any signs of oil misting, which was noted as a defect in December 2021.
Examine the brake discs for any remaining pitting or scoring, particularly the inner front discs. Finally, check the tyre tread and condition, as tyre wear is a common failure point for this model across the wider fleet data.
This blue 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan has recorded 65,359 miles, which is below the average for its age. While the vehicle has a consistent record of MOT passes, there have been recurring advisories regarding corrosion on the suspension arms and anti-roll bar. The most recent MOT in December 2025 was passed with no defects recorded.
The Tiguan has an average MOT pass rate of 85.6%, with the most frequent failures typically involving tyres and suspension arms.
