2013 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · P44 EAP

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean maintenance record. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 September 2025 at 82,515 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean sweep across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical failures and structural degradation typical of SUVs of this age. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-mid range usage profile, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 50,145 miles and the September 2025 test at 82,515 miles, the vehicle covered 32,370 miles, showing a steady usage rate. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest the car sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished seals, nor is there rapid accumulation that would indicate excessive wear on the drivetrain or suspension components. While the MOT history shows no recorded advisories, a physical inspection should still focus on components susceptible to age-related wear rather than mileage-related strain. Buyers should check the control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these can degrade over time even with low mileage. Given the vehicle's age, verifying the condition of the rubber hoses and checking for surface corrosion on the exhaust system is also prudent. The absence of previous structural failures suggests the chassis remains sound, but under inspection ensures no rust has begun to develop due to environmental exposure.
