2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LB15 YLU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on 29 May 2026. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable over the last three years, the recent failure indicates a lapse in preventative inspection. The car failed a just ten days prior at 95,218 miles due to a fractured offside front coil spring and a perished nearside front tyre, though these faults were rectified to pass the retest twenty-three miles later. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2024, the vehicle covered 1,184 miles, showing a period of low usage. However, the mileage increased by 1,278 miles in the following year and 1,622 miles in the most recent interval. This suggests a recent increase in annual mileage, which typically accelerates the wear on rubber-based components such as brake hoses and suspension bushings. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the failure of the offside coil spring suggests other structural components may be reaching the end of their service life. The tester should check for signs of perishing or sidew cracking on all remaining tyres, as the nearside front was already flagged for such damage. Given the age of the Tiguan, verifying the condition of the lower control arms and exhaust heat shields is essential to ensure that typical surface corrosion has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
