2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · RE14 ABX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 17 March 2025 at 88,310 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfect record across four consecutive tests. This consistent performance suggests that the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle and that the mechanical and safety components currently meet DVSA standards without recurring failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a twelve-year-old SUV, averaging approximately 7,360 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 69,558 miles and the March 2024 test at 82,469 miles, the vehicle covered 12,911 miles, showing steady use. The more recent interval of 5,841 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation. This regularity reduces the risk of dry- which often leads to degradation of rubber seals and fluid-related components. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age-related wear that do not always trigger an MOT failure. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as the weight of the Tiguan puts significant stress on these. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the brake discs for thinning and ensuring the calipers are not binding remains advisable. Additionally, although no structural corrosion was noted, a visual check of the underbody for surface rust will ensure the structural integrity of the chassis remains sound as the vehicle enters its second decade.
