2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · HN14 OGY

The most recent MOT from August 2025 shows a pass, but it follows a failure for worn suspension bushes and tyres. While the vehicle is currently legal, the history reveals a recurring pattern of wear in the suspension and braking systems. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening. In 2023, suspension bushes were noted as worn but acceptable, yet by August 2025, they were flagged as excessively worn. Similarly, brake disc issues were significant in 2024, and tyre wear has become a persistent failure point across multiple years. This suggests that components are being run to their limits rather than being replaced proactively. At approximately 7,600 miles per year, the mileage is typical for a 12-year-old vehicle. This level of usage suggests the wear is consistent with regular driving rather than extreme heavy use or long periods of inactivity. However, the repeated failures for tyres and suspension components indicate that maintenance has likely been reactive, addressing faults only when they cause an MOT failure. The recurring issues with suspension arm bushes and uneven tyre wear suggest potential alignment problems or underlying steering geometry issues.
