2012 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FP61 FFV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 18 December 2025 at 91,715 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all legal requirements. This stability reflects a positive trend over the last several years, suggesting that the owner has proactively addressed minor wear and tear before they could result in an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between December 2022 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 14,094 miles, maintaining a steady usage profile without significant periods of neglect or rapid accumulation. The gap between the January 2022 test and December 2022 test shows an early inspection, but the vehicle returned to an annual cycle thereafter. This low mileage relative to the age typically reduces the mechanical stress on heavy components like the drivetrain and suspension assembly compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the MOT record is clear of faults, a buyer should still focus their physical inspection on common points of failure for this model generation. Given the age of the Tiguan, the structural integrity of the rear arches and sills must be checked for corrosion that a standard test might not highlight. The suspension bushes and coil springs require close scrutiny, as these components often degrade over time regardless of mileage. Additionally, checking the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear will ensure the clean electronic history translates to reliable mechanical performance.
