2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · GD64 LCG

The vehicle shows a stable but aging maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT passed on 15 September 2025 at 72,849 miles. While the vehicle consistently passes its inspections, a recurring pattern of suspension wear has emerged. The tester flagged worn front inner suspension arm pins or bushes on both sides in the 2025 test, a condition that mirrors advisories from the 2023 test at 69,714 miles and the 2021 test at 60,943 miles. This indicates a progressive degradation of the suspension bushings that has persisted for several years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 30,018 miles in December 2017 to the current 72,849 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of long-term inactivity evident in the data. The distance covered between tests remains regular, suggesting the vehicle is used for predictable, routine journeys rather than extreme high-speed motorway driving or short, infrequent urban trips. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the front suspension assembly during a physical inspection. The repeated advisories regarding suspension arm bushes suggest that while the movement is not yet excessive, these components are nearing the end of their serviceable life. Checking for play in the wishbones and inspecting the condition of the rubber bushings is essential. The 2021 record also highlighted issues with tyre wear and perishing, so the current tread depth and sidewall integrity should be verified to ensure the owner has addressed previous consumable neglect. The brake history appears manageable, with the only specific mention being thin pads and worn discs in December 2018 at 41,928 miles. Since no brake-related advisories have appeared in the subsequent seven years of testing, it is likely that these consumables have been replaced. However, a manual check of the brake discs for scoring and the calipers for binding remains a prudent step to confirm the system's ongoing reliability.
