2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · RC03 APR

The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 49,358 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least February 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five available entries, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT testing scope during this period. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,170 miles per year against an eight-year lifespan. The records show steady accumulation: 30,973 miles in February 2022, 31,262 by July 2022, 38,248 in July 2023, 44,195 in June 2024, and 49,358 in June 2025. The gap between the February and July 2022 tests covered only 289 miles, suggesting limited use over those five months, while subsequent years each added around 6,000 miles. The DVSA dataset is sparse beyond pass confirmations, with no flagged wear on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion to scrutinise. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean record. MOT passes with zero advisories do not measure intermediate wear on consumable items such as coil springs, exhaust emissions components, or binding calipers between tests. The low annual mileage and the February to July 2022 standstill raise the possibility of prolonged static storage, which can accelerate rubber perishing and surface corrosion on structural integrity points not yet visible to testers. Prior owners clearly kept the Tiguan to a standard that satisfied annual statutory testing without deferred faults. The absence of repeat failures on tread depth or braking efficiency implies basic upkeep was not skipped. Given the vehicle's age, direct examination of underbody rust protection and suspension arm condition remains prudent before purchase.
