2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · PE65 AEP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-31 at 69,820 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-07-24 (62,257 miles) and 2023-07-24 (54,257 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2023-07-24 at 54,255 miles—despite no recorded defects—suggests potential inconsistency in testing or reporting. The absence of recurring mechanical failures in subsequent inspections implies the car has been well-maintained, with no significant structural or functional risks identified in the latest assessment. Mileage progression shows an average of 6,347 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for a 11-year-old vehicle. However, the jump from 45,516 miles (2022-07-21) to 54,257 miles (2023-07-24) reflects a 8,741-mile increase in 12 months, which could accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems. Subsequent annual increments of 7,563 and 8,000 miles further suggest regular use, though the lack of defects in later tests indicates proactive maintenance. The sparse data prior to 2022-07-21 limits insight into earlier care patterns. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension system, particularly coil springs and bushings, given the mileage and potential for gradual wear. The exhaust system and brake components, critical for emissions and safety, warrant inspection for corrosion or uneven disc wear, as these can develop over time without immediate MOT failures. While the MOT history shows no major issues, the 2023 failed test—despite no recorded defects—highlights the importance of a physical check for hidden faults, such as binding calipers or minor structural corrosion, which may not trigger immediate failures but could impact long-term reliability.
