2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · JO12 EDD

The vehicle presents as mechanically sound based on its recent MOT history, with the most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 27,488 miles resulting in a clean pass. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the two most recent inspections indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to consistent upkeep. There are no recurring mechanical issues or patterns of neglect evident in the current data set. The recorded mileage of 27,488 miles over a four-year period averages approximately 6,872 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The short interval between the March 2025 test at 25,955 miles and the June 2025 test at 27,488 miles suggests the vehicle underwent a change in ownership or a pre-sale inspection, which is common practice. Given the current date of July 2026, the vehicle is approaching the expiration of its current certificate, and a new test will be required shortly to confirm its ongoing roadworthiness. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of consumable components that are not always captured in the MOT test, such as the thickness of the brake pads and the remaining tread depth on the tyres. While the lack of advisories is encouraging, a visual check of the suspension bushes and the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion is prudent, particularly around the exhaust mounting points and subframe areas. Confirming the service history through the manufacturer’s digital records will provide a complete picture of the drivetrain health, as the MOT only verifies minimum safety standards rather than the condition of the engine or transmission internals.
