2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · ML10 TZS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection on 11 December 2025 at 59,691 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows two consecutive years of clean records in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a standard that prevents recurring MOTSA failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,731 miles per year. Between November 2022 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 7,719 miles, which confirms a trend of infrequent short-distance use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid stagnation. The single failure on 24 November 2023 at 54,638 miles, followed immediately by a pass the next day, suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly rather than chronic mechanical neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most affected by age and low-mileage usage. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyres for cracking or perish rot, as these degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Given the infrequent use, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers that result from standing for long periods. Additionally, verify the chassis for structural rust on the sills and mounting points to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental decay of the bodywork.
