2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LP67 MWL

This Volkswagen Tiguan presents a clean and stable MOT history, with no defects recorded across its five most recent tests up to March 2026. The March 2026 inspection at 94,730 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant with all roadworthiness standards, including emissions, lighting, and structural integrity. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or failures that would suggest deteriorating maintenance or mechanical issues. The absence of even minor defects in recent years indicates either meticulous upkeep or a model known for reliability in these areas, though this does not preclude the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging around 11,841 miles per annum. Each annual MOT entry shows steady progression—50,768 miles in March 2022 rising to 94,730 miles by March 2026—without sudden spikes or prolonged inactivity. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern to suggest abuse, neglect, or extended periods of disuse, which could otherwise accelerate wear on suspension components, brake systems, or rubber seals. Given the flawless MOT record, a buyer should still prioritise a hands-on inspection of key wear items not covered by the basic test. Pay particular attention to the suspension—specifically the condition of coil springs, anti-roll bars, and rubber bushes—since these are not routinely checked under MOT but can degrade over time, especially on a vehicle covering this mileage. The brake system, including caliper condition, disc thickness, and pad wear, should be assessed, even though no binding or excessive wear has been recorded. Exhaust components, such as mounts and silencers, should also be examined for corrosion or loose fixings, as these are not always flagged unless visibly detached or leaking. Finally, check for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels, as these areas are prone to hidden deterioration even on vehicles with no MOT history of rust-related failures.
