2023 Volkswagen Tiguan Elegance TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · GD72 EKO

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection. In the December 2025 MOT test conducted at 117,854 miles, the Tiguan passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components met all DVSA safety and environmental standards at the time of the last test. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a three-year-old vehicle. Covering 117,854 miles in this timeframe indicates the car has averaged over 39,000 miles per year. This rate of use suggests consistent long-distance motorway driving rather than short-trip city use. While the MOT record shows no immediate signs of failure, the rapid accumulation of miles places significant stress on heavy-duty components that typically require inspection at much lower intervals. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Focus specifically on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and control arms for signs of premature fatigue or perished rubber. The braking system should also be checked for uneven brake disc wear or thin pads, as the high mileage accelerates the degradation of these consumables. Given the usage pattern, verifying the service history to ensure oil changes and interval services were strictly followed is critical for the continued longevity of the TDI engine.
