Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. The combination of
Given the mileage of 182,958, you must verify the service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical for this engine. The MOT history indicates a tendency to run components until they are close to the legal limit, so you should negotiate the price to account for the immediate replacement of tyres and brake components.
Ensure you check for any evidence of oil leaks or smoke from the exhaust, as high-mileage diesels from this era can develop turbocharger or DPF issues. Request all available invoices to see if the advisories from 2022 and 2023 were actually addressed after the tests were completed.
The 2.0L diesel engine is generally efficient for a vehicle of this size, though fuel economy will vary based on driving style. Tax and insurance will be aligned with 2010 diesel specifications and the vehicle's insurance group.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this model. With the mileage significantly exceeding the model average, you should budget for more frequent replacements of suspension components and braking systems, as evidenced by the recent MOT advisories.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres and brakes. The May 2023 MOT specifically noted that the nearside front, nearside rear, and offside rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit, and both front brake discs were worn. Check if these have been replaced since May 2023.
Additionally, inspect the nearside front track rod end for play and check the upper windscreen for the damage noted in the last MOT. Given that suspension arms are a common failure point for Tiguans according to aggregate data, have a professional check the front-end bushings and joints.
This black 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel has recorded 182,958 miles. While it has passed its last three MOT tests, the records show a consistent trend of tyres and brakes wearing thin. The most recent test in May 2023 highlighted several components nearing their legal limits.
The Tiguan has an average MOT pass rate of 85.6%, with the most common failures typically involving tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps.
