2009 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · GF09 ADZ

This Volkswagen Tiguan presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 29 October 2024 at 112,642 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passes dating back to October 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 9,217 miles between the October 2023 test and the October 2024 test, which aligns with the overall average of roughly 6,626 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the record that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The absence of advisories across the last three years is unusual for a seventeen year old vehicle. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and suspension components for corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook surface rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the brake discs and suspension bushes, which typically show wear at this mileage regardless of a clean test sheet. Given the lack of recorded faults, the primary risk is the potential for deferred maintenance on non-MOT items. Check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine that do not appear on an MOT certificate. Verify the condition of the tyres and fluid levels to ensure the previous owner maintained the car beyond the bare minimum required for a pass.
