2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LF15 LSJ

The Volkswagen Tiguan’s most recent MOT test on 11 August 2025 at 111,848 miles passed without any recorded defects, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. Over the past three consecutive tests—2024, 2023 (with a rare duplicate entry at identical mileage), and 2022—there were no advisories or failures, indicating a stable maintenance record with no recurring mechanical issues. The absence of defects across these tests suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with MOT requirements, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance beyond the tester’s scope. The recorded mileage of 111,848 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of around 10,168 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and model. There are no significant gaps in testing—each annual MOT was conducted within a narrow window (14–17 August), and the mileage increments are consistent, ruling out prolonged periods of neglect. The only anomaly is the duplicate MOT entry in August 2023, where the vehicle was tested twice at 95,947 and 95,949 miles, both passing without issues, though this is likely an administrative duplication rather than a reflection of mechanical concern. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be scrutinised for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common failure points at this mileage. Brake discs and pads, while not failed in MOTs, may show uneven wear or glazing, and the tester’s failure to flag binding calipers in prior tests suggests a thorough check of brake fluid levels and hydraulic operation is essential. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around wheel arches and sills, should also be examined, as this is often overlooked in MOTs but critical for long-term reliability. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and functional assessment remains imperative.
