2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LF65 XFP

Chronic tyre wear and alignment concerns define the mechanical history of this vehicle, characterized by repeated advisories and a severe failure in June 2025 where three tyres were flagged as dangerous, including one with exposed ply. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 22 June 2026, the return of advisories for inner edge wear on both front tyres suggests a persistent issue with wheel geometry or suspension components that has not been fully rectified. With 77,981 miles recorded over eleven years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,089 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This consistent usage pattern avoids the risks associated with prolonged standing, though it means that rubber components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain consumables have been subjected to a steady rate of wear and tear over a decade of operation. The recurring nature of the inner edge tyre wear, specifically noted in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026, strongly indicates a potential fault with the front-end alignment or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, the buyer should pay close attention to any steering pull or instability at motorway speeds and listen for knocks or creaks when navigating uneven road surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds. Beyond the tyres, the 2025 failure for a non-functional rear fog lamp and the 2026 advisory for a deteriorated registration plate are minor, but the persistent tyre degradation requires immediate investigation. A physical inspection of the front suspension linkages and a professional four-wheel alignment check are recommended to determine why the vehicle continues to scrub the inner edges of the front tyres.
