2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FH67 RLZ

The vehicle presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance record. The most recent MOT on 12 May 2025 at 61,684 miles passed with zero defects, continuing an unbroken pattern of fault-free tests stretching back to 2022. This indicates the Tiguan has been kept in sound mechanical condition with no emerging or recurring issues flagged by testers over the past four years. The annual mileage accumulation has settled into a steady rhythm of roughly 5,300 to 5,700 miles per year between 2022 and 2025, lower than the vehicle's overall lifetime average of approximately 7,710 miles annually. This suggests lighter use in recent years compared to its earlier life. The record shows no significant gaps or sudden spikes in usage, with each test conducted promptly around the same May window annually, indicating consistent ownership patterns and regular road use rather than prolonged standing. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential. The tester's failure to flag any advisories across four consecutive tests is encouraging but does not substitute for hands-on assessment of wear items that may not yet meet the threshold for formal recording. Check the condition of all four brake discs and pads for uneven wear or scoring, inspect suspension bushes and droop links for deterioration, and examine the exhaust system for corrosion or leaking joints. The underbody and inner wheel arches should be inspected for structural rust, particularly given the vehicle's age. Tyre condition and age should be verified, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Given the lower recent mileage, assess whether the engine and drivetrain show signs of prolonged short-trip use, such as oil contamination or diesel particulate filter issues if applicable. The clean record suggests attentive ownership, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic provides the only reliable confirmation of the vehicle's current structural and mechanical integrity.
