2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LR66 MKE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 22 September 2022 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded at 126,892 miles. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2019, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies basic legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,689 miles per year. A significant spike in usage occurred between 20 September 2019 and 16 September 2020, where the odometer climbed from 78,831 to 106,747 miles. This period of heavy use indicates the car likely served as a long distance commuter. Since September 2022, there is a total absence of MOT data, meaning the vehicle has been off the road or untested for nearly four years. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of high wear components given the high mileage and the long period of inactivity. While the records show no previous failures for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, these parts are prone to degradation after four years of standing. Specifically, check for seized brake calipers and perished tyre sidewalls. The lack of recent data makes it impossible to verify the current state of the exhaust emissions or structural integrity. Inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as the absence of recent tests hides any developing rust. The 2019 failure was resolved within one day, which is typical for minor consumables, but the current gap in history represents a significant risk regarding the vehicle's immediate mechanical viability.
