2013 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FN63 AWO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 13 October 2025 at 102,401 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows a consistent pattern of failing a test and then passing shortly thereafter, these failures appear to be minor issues rectified quickly rather than indicators of systemic mechanical decline. The lack of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing safety-related faults rather than allowing structural corrosion or mechanical wear to accumulate. The mileage progression is consistent with a typical usage profile for a 13-year-old diesel or petrol Tiguan, averaging approximately 7,877 miles per year. The vehicle covered roughly 3,700 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, and approximately 8,700 miles in the following year leading up to the 2025 tests. This steady accumulation of miles suggests regular operation, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and brake assemblies to prevent seizing issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in October 2023 and October 2025, although the record does not specify the exact mechanical faults. Given the age and mileage, these failures likely involved items like bulbs, tyre tread depth, or minor fluid leaks. Because the vehicle has surpassed the 100,000-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and structural integrity of the underbody is required to ensure no hidden corrosion exists that has not yet triggered an MOT advisory.
