2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · MM65 AAA

This Volkswagen Tiguan presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 13 May 2025 at 40,937 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in this model. The mileage is notably low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,549 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between June 2023 and June 2024, where the odometer rose from 18,670 to 30,943 miles. This jump of over 12,000 miles in a single year contrasts with the very light usage seen in the 2021 and 2022 tests. Such low overall mileage suggests the car has spent considerable time stationary or has been used for short commutes. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished tyre rubber or binding brake calipers due to inactivity. Check the date codes on the tyres and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting. Verify the condition of the auxiliary belts and rubber suspension bushes, as these can crack over time even without high mileage. While the MOT history is flawless, a manual check for fluid leaks and a review of the service book will confirm if the oil change intervals were respected despite the low annual distance covered.
