2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · GV60 TVY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. While the latest test in January 2026 at 124,747 miles passed, the tester flagged three advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit with significant inner edge wear. This suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension components that have not yet been addressed despite the clean pass in early 2025. At 124,747 miles over 16 years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,800 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical UK usage for an SUV. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with roughly 6,000 miles covered covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 5,600 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This consistency suggests the car is used regularly, though the intervals between tests show that basic consumable items are often neglected until just before an MOT failure. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry, given the 2024 failure regarding the nearside front drive shaft CV boot. A split boot often leads to grease loss and premature joint failure, which necessitates expensive repairs. The recurring inner-edge wear on multiple tyres noted in the 2026 record strongly points to worn ball joints, control arm bushes, or incorrect tracking settings. These issues require a physical inspection to prevent further rapid tyre degradation and ensure the vehicle remains stable at motorway speeds.
