2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LS68 XFG

The vehicle remains roadworthy having passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 60,926 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding basic consumables. The most recent inspection flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being on the legal limit and exhibiting uneven edge wear, suggesting that the owner tends to replace components only when they fail an MOT test rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 14,187 miles recorded between April 2025 and April 2026, compared to the 13,211-mile interval between March 2024 and 2025. This indicates a steady usage pattern over the last two years which is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals and gaskets that can dry out, though it accelerates the wear of suspension bushes and brake hardware. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry in person, as the recurring edge wear on the front tyres noted in 2023 and 2026 often points to tracking misalignment or worn suspension bushings. While the tester did not flag binding calipers or structural corrosion, the lack of advisories in previous years suggests the vehicle has only been checked for immediate failure points. Given the age of the Tiguan, a thorough check of the brake disc thickness and the condition of rubber boots is necessary to ensure that the low mileage has not masked age-related degradation.
