2019 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Tech TDI 4M SA 2.0L Diesel · GE64 CAT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 11 June 2026 at 52,717 miles. This pass followed an immediate failure on the same day due to the offside front windscreen wiper, a minor consumable issue that was clearly rectified quickly. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has transitioned from previous advisories to a clean certificate with no structural or major mechanical defects recorded in the most recent inspection. At approximately seven years old, the recorded mileage of 52,717 miles represents an average of roughly 7,500 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a family diesel. There was a notable gap of 12,036 miles between June 2023 (35,199 miles) and June 2024 (47,035 miles), indicating a period of higher intensive use. Since then, the mileage has accumulated more steadily at approximately 5,600 miles per year, suggesting a consistent current usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as records show a recurring history of worn and pitted front brake discs. In June 2024, both front discs were flagged, and by June 2025, the nearside front disc was noted again for surface deterioration. While these did not result in failures, the persistence suggests the front braking components are nearing the end of their effective life and may require replacement soon to ensure optimal stopping performance. Additionally, the history shows instances of uneven tyre wear. The 2023 test noted both nearside and offside front tyres worn to the limit on the edges, while the 2025 test identified a cut on the nearside front tyre. A physical inspection should verify that the wheel alignment is not causing furtherages edge wear, as the previous records indicate potential issues with suspension geometry.
