2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · KV10 DVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and maintains a stable mechanical trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 177,619 miles with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories or failures for the last three years, indicating a vehicle that is kept in a state of immediate compliance. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 11,101 miles per year. Between the February 2024 test at 166,469 miles and the February 2026 test at 177,619 miles, the car covered 11,150 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The MOT record is unusually clean for a sixteen year old vehicle with nearly 180,000 miles. There are no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc degradation across the recorded history. While the absence of advisories is positive, it is atypical for a Tiguan of this vintage. A buyer should manually inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for structural rust and check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements. The record shows two instances where the car failed the day before passing, specifically on 11 February 2026 and 3 February 2025. Because no defects were listed for these failures, they likely relate to administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly. Given the high mileage, a physical check of the drivetrain and oil leaks is recommended to ensure the mechanical condition matches the clean MOT data.
