2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FN16 ACU

The 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-24 confirming no defects at 112,313 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or failures across seven consecutive MOTs suggests the vehicle has been well cared for, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The owner’s adherence to annual testing aligns with typical usage patterns for a 10-year-old vehicle. Mileage progression shows steady accumulation, averaging approximately 11,231 miles annually since 2016. The 2022 test at 71,574 miles preceded a 2023 test at 100,458 miles, reflecting a 28,884-mile increase over 12 months—a rate consistent with regular use. No significant gaps in testing or abrupt mileage spikes are evident, though the 2021 test at 57,814 miles and 2022 test at 71,574 miles suggest a 13,760-mile rise in 12 months, which may indicate increased driving frequency. The clean MOT history through these periods reinforces the reliability of the recorded mileage. While no specific faults were recorded, buyers should verify the condition of suspension components, as coil springs and bushes in this model can degrade over time. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants inspection for binding or uneven wear, which may not trigger MOT failures but affect performance. Corrosion in underbody areas and exhaust system integrity should also be checked, as these are common issues in older vehicles. The lack of advisories implies no urgent concerns, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains advisable to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing mechanical soundness.
