2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LL18 UTG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the most recent test on 8 July 2026 at 83,851 miles. After a period of intermittent tyre-related failures and advisories, the maintenance trend has improved significantly. The absence of any defects or advisories in the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests that the previous issues regarding tyre condition and tread depth have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a consistent standard. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 10,481 miles per year, showing steady progression from 26,963 miles in July 2021 to 83,851 miles in July 2026. This regular usage helps prevent the common issues associated with long periods of inactivity, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The data shows no unusual gaps in mileage that would suggest the vehicle has been sitting idle for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and wheel alignment. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyre issues, specifically cuts, perishing, and uneven wear. The 2021 failure involved multiple cuts and low tread, while the 2022 and 2024 records flagged damaged, cracking, or edge-worn tyres. While the most recent tests are clear, these historical advisories often indicate either aggressive driving styles or underlying suspension geometry issues. Checking for uneven wear on the current tread patterns will confirm if the suspension bushes and tracking are within specification. Beyond the tyres, the recent clean records suggest that major mechanical components like the braking system and exhaust emissions have been performing well. Since no structural corrosion or suspension component failures have been flagged in the records, the vehicle appears to have avoided significant environmental or mechanical degradation. A standard check of the brake discs and pads is still advised given the mileage, but the documented history does not suggest any immediate red flags regarding the vehicle's structural integrity.
