Our Verdict
A strong recommendation based on an exce
When purchasing this vehicle, prioritise a review of the full service history to ensure the 1.4L petrol engine has been serviced at the correct intervals, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness, not mechanical health. Check for any evidence of wear on the suspension and tyres, as these are common weak points for the Tiguan model range.
The 1.4L petrol engine provides a reasonable balance of power and efficiency for a family SUV, though fuel costs will be higher than the diesel variants. Insurance groups for the Tiguan are typically mid-range, and road tax will be based on the vehicle's 2018 CO2 emissions.
Despite the clean MOT history, you should specifically inspect the tyres and suspension arms, as these are the top failure reasons for this model across 197,822 analysed vehicles. Additionally, check the headlamps for any signs of condensation or dimming, which is another common Tiguan failure point.
This 2018 blue Volkswagen Tiguan has a recorded mileage of 73,849 miles as of May 2026. It boasts a flawless MOT record from 2022 to 2026, with five consecutive passes and zero defects or advisories recorded. While its mileage is slightly higher than the model average, the absence of test failures is a significant positive.
The Tiguan has a general MOT pass rate of 85.6%, with most failures relating to tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- MQB Water Pump LeakModerate
Plastic housing warping causes slow coolant leaks.
- DSG Gearbox IssuesSerious
Both the DQ200 (dry clutch on 1.4/1.5 TSI) and DQ381 (wet clutch on 2.0 TDI) can develop problems. The DQ200 is more prone to mechatronic failure, while the DQ381 can suffer from clutch pack wear if not serviced at 40k-mile intervals.
- Air Conditioning Compressor FailureModerate
The AC compressor can develop a fault where it stops cooling or makes a grinding noise. On the Tiguan Mk2 this often manifests between 50,000 and 80,000 miles, sometimes caused by a leak in the refrigerant circuit.
