2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · JD03 DEX

The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 91,450 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with no advisories. The history shows no recurring mechanical faults, corrosion issues, or brake and suspension concerns across the available record. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,161 miles per year. The record moves from 35,747 miles at the 21 September 2022 test to 58,166 miles at the 28 November 2023 failure, then 58,472 miles at the 4 December 2023 pass, 77,199 miles at the 14 November 2024 test, and 91,450 miles by August 2025. A short gap appears between the late-2023 pair and the late-2024 test, but annual accumulation stays consistent with light-to-moderate private use. The only blemish is the failed test on 28 November 2023 at 58,166 miles, where the DVSA entry logs no defects recorded. This suggests an administrative or presentational failure rather than a flagged mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed six days later with no work noted. No tyres, exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or consumable items drew tester comment at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age and the sparse advisory history. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but absence of advisories does not confirm component condition. Verify service records and check for standing-water or seasonal use that a mileage-light year might mask.
