2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · MH11 GEE

The 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a largely stable maintenance trend, though the most recent MOT on 10 October 2025 at 61,388 miles introduced a notable shift in its defect profile. After four consecutive clean passes from 2021 through 2024, the October 2025 test flagged worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front. Critically, the tester noted these were worn but not yet resulting in excessive movement, meaning the components remain serviceable but are now under formal observation. This is a developing wear item rather than an acute failure, and the trend should be classed as slowly worsening from a previously stable baseline. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of low annual use. Covering 15,861 miles across the five-year MOT history, from 45,570 miles in October 2022 to 61,388 miles in October 2025, the vehicle has averaged roughly 3,172 miles per year over that period. Against the vehicle's age of roughly 11 years and an overall average of about 5,581 miles per year, this suggests a marked reduction in usage in recent years, or potentially a period of limited activity prior to 2022. There are no mileage gaps or anomalies in the record, and the progression is steady and plausible. The front suspension wear flagged in October 2025 is the primary mechanical concern for any prospective buyer. Worn suspension arm bushes on both sides of the front axle typically point to age-related deterioration rather than a single incident, particularly on a vehicle that has spent extended periods stationary or covering short trips. A buyer should have the front suspension inspected in person, paying close attention to the condition of the wishbone bushes, ball joints, and coil springs, and should check for any uneven tyre wear that would confirm misalignment from the degraded bushings. The absence of any braking, exhaust, or structural corrosion advisories across the full five-year record is a positive indicator of overall body and drivetrain integrity. Given the low mileage and clean structural history, the Tiguan appears to have been reasonably well maintained, but the emerging suspension wear suggests the next owner should budget for front-end renewal work in the near term. A pre-purchase inspection focused on the front suspension and steering geometry would be a prudent step before committing.
