Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given that this 2.0L diesel Tiguan has surpassed 145,000 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history. You must verify that the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump have been replaced according to manufacturer intervals, as this is critical for the 1968cc TDI engine.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the fact that the vehicle is now thirteen years old. Ask for evidence of recent work regarding the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system and the diesel particulate filter (DPF), as these components can become costly to rectify on high-mileage diesel Volkswagens.
As a 2.0L diesel, fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but it should remain relatively efficient for an SUV of this size. Tax bands for a 2013 Tiguan vary based on specific CO2 emissions, so check the exact V5C document.
Insurance groups for the SE TDI trim are typically mid-range. Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage are expected to be higher, as wear-and-tear items like suspension components, brakes, and tyres will require more frequent attention.
Inspect the underside of the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly around the suspension mounting points. Since the 2024 MOT recorded a failure, ask the seller for the specific reason for that failure to ensure it was rectified properly.
Check the 4Motion drivetrain for any unusual noises or vibrations when turning at low speeds. Additionally, monitor the exhaust system for any signs of excessive smoke or warning lights on the dashboard, which could indicate issues with the Bluetech emissions system.
This 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan SE TDI Bluetech 4Motion is a high-mileage diesel SUV, currently sitting at 145,894 miles. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, including one failure in December 2024 at 121,442 miles, though no specific defect types were detailed in the record. The vehicle has seen a steady increase in mileage, averaging over 17,000 miles per year.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Tiguan SE TDI Bluetech 4Motion variant.
