2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FP68 XRO

The most recent MOT from December 2025 shows a clean pass, but the tester flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. This is a real-world warning: the tyres are near illegal and may need replacing soon. The earlier 2024 MOT had advisories for thinning brake pads and corroded discs all round, none of which were mentioned again in 2025. That doesn't automatically mean they were replaced, so you must verify the work. The overall pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age and mileage. It started out with several years of completely clean MOTs. Wear items only began appearing at the 2024 test, and then progressive front-tyre wear showed at the next test. The trend looks stable, not sharply worsening, but it does point to normal mechanical ageing rather than a neglected car. Mileage is about 10,500 miles per year, which is right on the UK average for a diesel or petrol family SUV. The distance covered between the last two tests—around 19,500 miles—suggests heavier use recently, possibly more motorway miles.
