2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · KS18 JBU

The vehicle presents a stable and unblemished maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 23 April 2025 at 62,022 miles passed with zero defects, indicating the Tiguan currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. This clean record suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing any minor wear items before they escalated into failures. The mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the 2022 test at 34,837 miles and the 2024 test at 53,322 miles, the car covered roughly 9,200 miles annually, demonstrating consistent daily use. The mileage jumped by 8,700 miles in the twelve months leading to the April 2025 test. This recent increase suggests a change in usage pattern, possibly transitioning from short local journeys to longer commutes or motorway driving, which accelerates wear on consumables despite the clean MOT outcome. Despite the absence of any flagged faults or structural advisories in the official record, a physical inspection remains prudent given the recent mileage jump. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as high-speed motorway driving generates significant thermal stress that surface-level MOT checks might not reveal. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers also warrant a thorough check, as increased mileage over the last twelve months can expedite the deterioration of these rubber and hydraulic components. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition require verification too, since a sudden increase in driving distance accelerates tread wear and increases the risk of impact damage.
