Our Verdict

This 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a very reassuring MOT history with five consecutive passes and zero recorded defects or advisories. With a mileage count that sits comfortably near the national average for its age, it represents a solid choice in the used family SUV market.

When viewing this 2017 Tiguan, verify that the physical service history matches the steady mileage progression seen in the MOT data, starting from 46,576 miles in March 2022 up to 72,599 miles by November 2025. Given the 1968.0cc diesel engine, check for any history of timing belt replacements, as these are typically due around 5-6 years or 60,000 to 80,000 miles. Negotiate based on the physical condition of the bodywork and interior, as the testing record itself gives no technical cause for price deductions.

The 1968.0cc diesel engine in this Volkswagen Tiguan generally offers strong fuel economy on longer motorway journeys, though urban running may be less efficient. Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) will apply at standard UK diesel rates for vehicles registered after April 2017. Insurance falls into a moderate group typical for a mid-sized family SUV, while routine maintenance should account for common wear items such as tyres and suspension components.

Although the recent MOT history shows zero recorded defects, buyers should still conduct a thorough physical inspection based on common weak points for the Tiguan model. Pay close attention to the tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps, which represent the top MOT failure reasons across the wider model dataset. Inspect the condition of all four tyres for uneven wear and check the suspension components over speed bumps for any knocks or unusual noises.

This white 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan features a 1968.0cc diesel engine and has recorded consistent mileage growth across five documented MOT tests between March 2022 and November 2025. Every recorded MOT test resulted in a pass without a single failure or advisory notice. This clean testing record sets it apart from many peers in the model aggregate dataset.

The Volkswagen Tiguan demonstrates an aggregate MOT pass rate of 85.6% across nearly 200,000 tested vehicles, with common attention areas centering on tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps.
