2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FN66 KRX

The maintenance trend for this 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan appears stable, culminating in a clean pass at the most recent inspection. During the 23 May 2024 test at 101,699 miles, the tester recorded no defects, confirming the vehicle currently meets minimum roadworthiness standards. While the record shows failures in 2022 and 2023, the subsequent passes with zero recorded faults suggest any prior issues were rectified. The absence of recurring or worsening advisories points to a consistent, if basic, level of upkeep rather than a deteriorating mechanical condition. The mileage pattern reveals a notable acceleration in use over the last two years of the record. Between the 27 May 2022 test at 63,866 miles and the 30 May 2023 test at 79,055 miles, the Tiguan covered 15,189 miles. However, in the following twelve months leading to the 23 May 2024 test at 101,699 miles, the vehicle accumulated 22,644 miles. This rapid recent accumulation deviates from the roughly 10,170 miles per year average implied by its age, indicating a shift toward heavier, potentially high-mileage commuting or long-distance driving. Despite the clean MOT record, the absence of recorded defects on the failed tests from 2022 and 2023 is unusual and warrants physical scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the structural integrity of the undercarriage and suspension mounting points, checking for corrosion or cracking. Given the high recent mileage, evaluate the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. The tyres and exhaust system also require close inspection, as rapid mileage accumulation accelerates consumable wear that the MOT record does not explicitly detail.
