2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · MV65 NNX

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and exhibits a clear trend of worsening mechanical neglect. The most recent test on June 15, 2026 at 87,552 miles resulted in a comprehensive failure involving critical safety components including the braking system and suspension. This represents a significant decline compared to the previous year's pass, as multiple advisories from earlier tests have now escalated into major failures, such as a fractured coil spring and excessively worn suspension arm bushes. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 76,644 miles and the 2026 test at 87,552 miles, the car covered 10,908 miles. While the usage rate is typical for this class, the frequency of failures related to wear and tear over these intervals suggests that the owner has deferred essential maintenance, allowing components to run out until they reached a point of legal failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the entire front and rear suspension geometry. The record shows a history of failure in lower arm bushes, ball joints, and trailing arm bushes across multiple years, indicating systemic wear of the rubber components and pivots. The fracture of the offside front coil spring is an immediate safety risk that confirms the vehicle has been subjected to significant stress without timely intervention. TheThe braking system requires a complete overhaul as the tester flagged thin pads on both axles, with the rear discs being described as scored and pitted. You should also verify that the engine management system is fully functional, as a malfunction light was previously noted in 2024. Given the recurring issues with perishing tyres and uneven wear, a full set of new rubber is likely required to ensure the vehicle is safe for road use.
