2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · KE61 ANN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of reactive rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent inspection in December 2025 at 72,129 miles identified an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with specific inner-edge wear. This indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension geometry fault that remains unaddressed, despite the vehicle passing the test with this minor advisory. The mileage profile is historically consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of nearly 17,000 miles between November 2023 and December 2024, followed by a more standard accumulation of roughly 9,000 miles leading to the 2025 test. While the low annual mileage suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain, the intervals between tests indicate the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake fluid. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and wheel alignment, given the recurring reports of inner-edge tyre wear across multiple years. The advisory for thin front brake pads in late 2024 suggests that the braking system is nearing the end of its service interval, requiring a check of disc thickness and condition. Furthermore, the history of rear tyres reaching legal limits in 2021 and 2023 necessitates a check for uneven camber or shock absorber wear on the rear axle to prevent future tyre wastage.
