2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LS64 CCV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a recent repair, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in the suspension integrity. While the April 2026 test at 119,519 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one week prior at 119,513 miles. That failure identified multiple worn front suspension arm bushes, a fractured nearside front coil spring, and serious corrosion on the rear lower suspension arms. The fact that the underbody was undersealed during the pass suggests a reactive attempt to halt further structural degradation of these critical components. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The car progressed from 84,407 miles in March 2023 to 98,096 miles in March 2024, and then to 110,393 miles by April 2025. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. However, the consistent wear on rubber bushes and metal components across these mileage intervals suggests the vehicle is reaching a stage of component age-related failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry. The 2026 failure highlighted the nearside rear lower suspension arm as seriously weakened by corrosion, which is a structural risk that requires monitoring despite the recent pass. You should check for signs of fresh rust on the remaining arms and ensure the new coil spring was fitted correctly. Additionally, the recurring history of pitted and scored rear brake discs between 2024 and 2025 suggests the braking system components are thin and should be measured to ensure they are not nearing their minimum thickness.
