2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · RE14 ACU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-23 at 96,280 miles showed no defects, but a prior test on 2026-03-19 at 96,276 miles recorded a failure with no specific defects noted. This suggests a potential administrative error or minor issue resolved rapidly. Previous tests from 2023 to 2025 consistently passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of recorded faults in the last three years implies the owner addressed issues promptly, though the unexplained failure warrants scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, accumulating approximately 7,000–8,000 miles yearly. The 2024-03-20 test at 83,993 miles and 2025-03-13 test at 90,536 miles show steady growth, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. The record lacks anomalies, suggesting regular servicing. However, the 2026-03-19 failure occurring just four days before a passing test raises questions about the reliability of the data, though no specific mechanical concerns were logged. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often degrade over time. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body panels, merits attention to rule out hidden rust or damage. The lack of recorded faults is positive, but the unexplained failure underscores the need for a professional inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
