2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FL60 WHF

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 125,969 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual certificates since September 2022. The recorded mileage shows typical use for a 2010 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,873 miles per year. The DVSA data charts a steady climb: 104,418 miles in September 2022, 111,821 in September 2023, 119,180 in September 2024, and 125,969 in September 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test on 14 September 2024 at 119,142 miles, retested and passed three days later at 119,180 miles with no defects listed on either entry. This suggests an administrative or undocumented rectification rather than a mechanical fault carried through the record. Given the absence of any advisories across the five-year history, the previous keeper clearly kept the Tiguan to a basic pass standard with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the coil springs, brake discs, and underbody structural integrity, as a clean MOT does not confirm component life remaining on a 16-year-old, 125,000-mile SUV. The September 2024 fail with no recorded defect warrants a check of the test station paperwork to confirm what was raised and cleared. Otherwise the documentary evidence supports a low-risk purchase from a mechanical-compliance standpoint, provided in-person checks cover age-related rubber perishing and exhaust emissions at cold start.
