2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FG68 XTK

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 62,399 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories carried forward. The only anomaly is the failed test on 3 December 2025 at 62,396 miles, which logged no defects; this suggests an administrative or documentation failure rather than a mechanical fault, resolved within two days. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per year. The record jumps from 34,249 miles on 28 October 2022 to 47,635 miles on 3 June 2024, a gap of roughly twenty months with no interim test logged. From June 2024 the car covered 10,707 miles to May 2025 and a further 4,057 miles by December 2025, showing consistent recent use rather than long standing periods. No recurring faults, corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues appear in the DVLA data, so the history implies conscientious upkeep by previous keepers. The clean December 2025 pass after the defect-free failure two days earlier points to no outstanding mechanical risk in the official record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers given the sparse test frequency between 2022 and 2024. Verify the reason for the December 2025 failure with the test station, and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition as minor consumables the MOT may not have flagged at the final pass.
