2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LR15 KCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test on 9 June 2026 at 90,159 miles passed with a minor advisory for perishing or cracking on all four tyres. This follows a recurring issue from the August 2025 test where the vehicle failed for the same tyre condition, suggesting that the owner only addresses rubber-based components once they are flagged by the MOT tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for this age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year over its eleven-year life. There is a 11,742 mile gap between the August 2024 test at 71,803 miles and the August 2025 test at 83,545 miles, showing steady usage. While the lower mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine, the record reveals that age-related components are reaching the end of their despite despite relatively low distance driven. A buyer should scrutinise the braking system closely, as the history shows pitting and scoring on both front inner brake discs in 2025, following thin brake pads noted in 2024. This suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, allowing corrosion to build up on the metal surfaces. The failure of the offside windscreen wiper in 2024 and the dipped beam bulb failure in 2025 further indicate a pattern where minor mechanical items are overlooked until they fail inspection. A physical inspection of the suspension bushes and the condition of the tyres is essential, as the record shows these areas are consistently degrading due to age.
