2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · LX65 AMK

This Volkswagen Tiguan presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 13 September 2024 at 143,940 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This trend of zero-defect passes extends back through the 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 tests, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is high for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. A significant increase in usage is evident between August 2020 and September 2021, where the odometer rose from 70,952 to 92,269 miles. More recently, the vehicle covered 19,556 miles between September 2023 and September 2024. Such high mileage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems, though the lack of MOT advisories suggests these have been replaced or serviced as needed. The absence of recorded faults in the MOT history is unusual for a high-mileage vehicle of this age. While the data shows no failures for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion. High-mileage cars often hide wear in the form of oil leaks or degraded rubber seals that do not always trigger an MOT failure but impact long-term reliability. Priority should be given to checking the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine and mileage. Inspecting the brake pads and tyre tread depth in person is also necessary, as these consumables may be nearing the end of their life since the last test in September 2024. The current MOT has expired relative to today's date of 22 July 2026, meaning the vehicle requires a new test to confirm its current legal status.
