2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · MR55 LJE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 64,600 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistency across the last five tests suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a professional standard, avoiding the common mechanical failures often seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a family SUV, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the April 2021 test at 17,963 miles and the November 2025 test at 64,600 miles, the vehicle covered 46,637 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate rather than long periods of neglect or heavy strain. The intervals between tests remain regular, with annual increases staying below the 12,000 mile mark, which generally indicates regular operation that helps preserve engine seals and drivetrain components. Because the MOT record shows no advisories for suspension components or brake hardware, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the state of consumables not covered by testing. A buyer should check the condition of the tyres for uneven wear and inspect the brake discs for signs of thinning or pitting despite the passing tests. Given the low mileage, the structural integrity of the chassis is likely excellent, but a visual check of the underarm for rubber bushings and exhaust mounting remains advisable to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed between the inspections.
