2009 Volkswagen Tiguan Sport TDI 140 Auto 2.0L Diesel · HFZ 7088

The vehicle maintains an exemplary record of roadworthiness, with five consecutive clean MOT passes indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical state. The most recent test on 14 September 2025 at 101,031 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, suggesting the current owner has prioritised proactive upkeep. This consistent lack of failures or minor warnings over the last five years points to a vehicle that has been kept in good operational order without recurring technical issues. With an average annual usage of approximately 5,943 miles, the total mileage of 101,031 over seventeen years is relatively low for a diesel engine of this era. The data shows a steady, modest accumulation of miles, with the vehicle covering roughly 8,882 miles between the September 2021 test and the latest inspection in September 2025. This pattern suggests regular, light usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which often helps prevent the issues associated with long-term storage, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically suffer from age-related degradation rather than high-mileage wear. While the MOT history is clean, the vehicle is approaching an age where suspension bushes, coil springs, and flexible brake hoses may show signs of perishing or corrosion that do not always trigger an immediate test failure. Examine the underside for any signs of structural corrosion on the subframes or sills, as these are common areas for older Volkswagen models. Check the condition of the automatic transmission and the diesel particulate filter, as these systems can develop faults that remain hidden from the standard MOT emissions and safety checks. Ensure the timing belt replacement interval has been respected, as the MOT record does not track internal engine maintenance. Given the clean history, the car appears to be a well-cared-for example, but a thorough inspection of these specific mechanical areas remains prudent before purchase.
