Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise verifying whether the brake pads and rear discs flagged as worn in May 2025 have since been replaced. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre wear and perishing (noted in 2022, 2023, and 2025), so check the current brand and tread depth of all four tyres to see if they have been recently renewed.
Review the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has had regular oil changes, as this is critical for long-term reliability. Given the recurring nature of the consumables advisories, use any evidence of outdated tyres or brakes as a point for price negotiation.
The 2.0L diesel engine provides a balance of torque and fuel efficiency suitable for long-distance driving. Tax will be based on the vehicle's CO2 emissions for its 2018 registration year, and it typically falls into a mid-range insurance group for family SUVs.
Maintenance costs are expected to be standard for a Volkswagen of this age, though the MOT history suggests a tendency for tyre and brake wear. Expected annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are estimated to be between £1,300 and £1,700.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the MOT history records 'perishing' in 2022 and 2025, as well as wear close to the legal limit in 2023. Inspect the sidewalls for cracking and ensure the current set is age-appropriate. Additionally, check the braking system, as the 2025 test specifically highlighted thin front and rear pads and worn rear discs.
Finally, examine the front suspension. The 2022 MOT noted worn lower suspension arm bushes; while this did not result in a failure at the time, it is a known common failure point for the Tiguan model aggregate data. Listen for any knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces.
This silver 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel has covered 61,016 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. While it has passed every MOT test since registration, the history shows recurring advisories for wear-and-tear items, specifically tyres and brakes. The overall data suggests a vehicle that has been used moderately and has avoided major mechanical failures.
The Tiguan has an average MOT pass rate of 85.6%, with the most common failure points being tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps.
