2011 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FT61 DGV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 10 November 2025 at 87,895 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a five-year streak of clean results. This consistent performance suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, avoiding the mechanical or structural failures that typically appear on cars of this age. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old Tiguan, averaging approximately 5,860 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 17,439 miles, representing a steady usage profile of roughly 4,360 miles annually recently. This low-frequency use generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain components and braking system compared to high-mileage examples. However, low mileage on an older vehicle can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake seals if the car has sat stationary for long periods between tests. Given the lack of recorded faults, an in-person inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than just mileage. A buyer should check for signs of corrosion on the structural chassis and underbody, as moisture can affect metal even on rarely driven cars. It is also prudent to inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can develop cracking or sagging over fifteen years. Finally, verify the brake discs for pitting or surface rust, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers if the rotors are not regularly cleaned by friction friction.
