2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · JM51 ALM

The 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 15 April 2025 at 112,390 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the five-year MOT history is stable, with every annual test from May 2021 through April 2025 returning a pass and zero advisories. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the official record. Mileage sits high for a nine-year-old vehicle. The Tiguan covered roughly 12,488 miles per year, rising from 70,536 miles at the May 2021 test to 112,390 miles by April 2025. Annual increments stayed consistent at around 10,000 to 12,000 miles, with no standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes. The DVSA data shows no gaps between tests, and the absence of any advisory entries suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and core systems within tolerance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The clean MOT sheet does not capture intermittent faults, worn suspension bushes, or early corrosion hidden from the annual test. At 112,390 miles, expect natural wear on brake discs, coil springs, and drivetrain mounts even where the tester logged nothing. Given the high mileage and age, verify service history covers timing belt, gearbox oil, and haldex coupling if fitted. Check underneath for structural rust and inspect tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than tread loss. The record implies disciplined annual compliance, but it is not a substitute for a physical mechanical assessment.
