2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · PL66 KWR

This Volkswagen Tiguan has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across the last four annual tests, culminating in a clean pass on 3 September 2025—just over a year ago. The absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not exemplary, servicing, though the most recent test remains slightly outdated for current standards. The 2022 duplicate entry (a failed test followed immediately by a pass) is unusual but does not imply mechanical issues, as no defects were logged. Still, the lack of any advisories—even minor—indicates the tester did not identify any emerging concerns at the time of inspection. The recorded mileage of 67,215 miles over roughly ten years aligns with typical usage patterns for this age, averaging around 6,700 miles annually. There are no evident gaps in service intervals, nor does the record suggest prolonged periods of inactivity or rapid mileage accumulation that might stress components. The consistent annual testing suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without extreme conditions, though this does not preclude internal wear not visible in the MOT record. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly rear suspension bushes and coil springs—given their tendency to degrade over time without visible external signs. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet or salted environments. Structural integrity should also be assessed for signs of rust penetration in wheel arches, sills, or the subframe, as these areas are critical for long-term safety. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and functional checks are essential.
