2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · KV67 APU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-01 at 83,645 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-06-30 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or unreported faults. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passing results with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record prior to 2025. The lack of recurring mechanical issues in earlier tests implies the car has been well-maintained, though the abrupt failure in mid-2025 raises questions about its current condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 83,645 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 9,294 miles, typical for its 9-year age. Tests spaced one year apart from 2022 to 2024 show steady progression, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage. The 2025 tests, however, occurred within a 24-hour period at identical mileage, which is unusual and may indicate a data entry error or the vehicle being stationary for an extended period. This could correlate with potential issues like battery degradation or fluid seepage, though no such concerns were flagged in the records. Buyers should physically inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear, as these are common failure points in older SUVs. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these can develop during periods of inactivity. While no structural rust or major mechanical faults were recorded, the unexplained 2025 failure warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s roadworthiness beyond the MOT data.
