2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · ND64 XME

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT status following the test conducted on 31 July 2025 at 145,024 miles. The maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of wear across key mechanical components, particularly within the suspension and braking systems. Specific advisories include light misting of oil on both nearside and offside rear shock absorbers, and evidence of corrosion on the rear sub-frame and nearside rear lower suspension arm. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the repeated flagging of suspension arm pins and bushes suggests ongoing wear that requires attention. The recorded mileage of 145,024 miles places the vehicle at a high usage level for a 2015 model, averaging approximately 13,184 miles per year. The MOT history confirms a steady accumulation of wear rather than significant gaps in service. Brake discs have been noted as worn and pitted on both nearside and offside axles since 2022, indicating consistent use of the braking system. Tyre wear has also been a recurring theme, with the nearside front tyres reaching the legal limit in August 2024, and both sets of tyres showing cracking or perishing in August 2023. A buyer should inspect the suspension components thoroughly, focusing on the nearside front and offside front lower suspension arm pins and bushes, as these were flagged for wear in both 2024 and 2025. The corrosion noted on the nearside rear lower suspension arm and the rear sub-frame should be examined for structural integrity, even if the advisory notes they are not yet seriously weakened. Furthermore, the brake discs should be checked for excessive scoring or deep pitting, as they have been noted as worn since 2022. The light misting of oil on the shock absorbers is a minor advisory, but it indicates a need for inspection to ensure the seals are not failing.
