2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FJ17 XJM

The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 65,411 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Annual mileage sits at a modest 7,268 per year against the vehicle's nine-year life, indicating light use. The records show consistent yearly increments: 31,443 miles on 29 April 2022, 41,985 on 15 May 2023, 53,923 on 17 May 2024, and 65,411 on 15 May 2025. No gaps or abrupt accumulation appear; the DVSA data is sparse but wholly clean, with no failures or flagged wear items at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the fault-free record. The Tiguan's age makes suspension bushes, front coil springs, and subframe corrosion prime checks, as these degrade silently without MOT detection in dry conditions. Brake disc thickness and caliper operation warrant physical measurement given the low annual mileage may have allowed surface rust or sticking. The absence of advisories suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet low use risks perished rubber and flat-spotted tyres from standing. Verify service history matches the recorded mileages before purchase.
