2008 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · OY57 WJA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 June 2025 at 103,812 miles. This test was completed with no defects recorded, suggesting the car is in a sound mechanical state. A pattern of failing the initial test and passing shortly after is evident in both 2024 and 2025, though the record lacks specific defect data for those failures. The mileage is notably low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,767 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between June 2023 and June 2024, where the odometer rose from 73,739 to 87,611 miles. This period of higher activity contrasts with the more modest 16,201 mile increase seen between June 2024 and June 2025. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean and lacks specific advisories, there are no recurring mechanical faults to flag. The absence of mentioned corrosion or suspension wear is positive for a vehicle of this age. However, the low annual mileage and the lack of recorded defects over several years can sometimes mask issues related to long periods of standing, such as perished rubber seals or seized brake calipers. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and brake discs to ensure they have not suffered from age-related degradation or surface corrosion. Checking the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing is also advisable given the vehicle's age, as these components often fail due to time rather than mileage.
