2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · MF65 FZC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean inspections to mechanical wear. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 140,965 miles passed, it introduced new concerns regarding a central front oil leak and corrosion on both rear coil springs. This represents a departure from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2024, indicating that the vehicle is now entering a phase where aged components require proactive attention. At 140,965 miles over eleven years, this Tiguan has averaged approximately 12,800 miles per annum. This reflects consistent high-frequency usage rather than long periods of inactivity. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with over 10,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests and over 15,000 miles in the year preceding that. This level of consistent use typically places significant stress on the suspension geometry, drivetrain, and braking system. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on the severity of the central front oil leak to determine if it is a minor seal weeping or a more costly gasket failure. The corrosion on the nearside and offside rear coil springs needs close checking for structural integrity, as rust under the weight of the vehicle can lead to failure. Additionally, the history of uneven tyre wear in 2021 and 2023 suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or worn shock absorbers, which should be verified to prevent premature replacement of future tyres.
