2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · FV67 XUD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2025 at 68,976 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive approach to basic consumable requirements. While the car failed a test one day prior to the 2025 inspection due to insufficient tyre tread depth on the rear axle, the immediate rectification suggests that the owner addresses safety-critical faults once flagged, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. The data shows a steady progression of use, with 12,664 miles covered between January 2022 and April 2023, another 12,550 miles in the following year, and a jump of 12,791 miles before the 2025 tests. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits the condition of rubber suspension components and brake seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and tyre alignment, as the advisories from 2024 and 2025 repeatedly highlighted uneven wear and edge wear on the rear tyres. This recurring issue often points to misaligned geometry or worn suspension bushes that have not been fully corrected. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or mechanical failures in the history, the primary integrity of the vehicle appears sound, but a check of the rear brake discs and calipers is necessary to ensure the uneven wear is not caused by binding components.
