2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · RE15 KLD

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 84,706 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle passing cleanly in the latest examination after two anomalous failures in late August 2025 and August 2023 that were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,700 miles per year against the 84,706 miles recorded. The annual tests show consistent year-on-year use: 71,794 miles in August 2023, 78,297 miles in August 2024, and 84,706 miles by September 2025, equating to around 6,500 to 6,900 miles annually. The record is sparse but clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flags across any entry, suggesting the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance even if the two no-defect failures hint at lapsed paperwork or retest timing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as the MOT history shows no advisories that would confirm their condition. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity notes is reassuring, but DVSA tests at this mileage rarely capture incipient wear without a failure trigger. The repeated no-defect failures on 29 August 2023 and 28 August 2025, both immediately followed by passes at near-identical mileages, imply the vehicle was presented late or with unresolved test logistics rather than neglected mechanically. Verify the V5C and test certificates to confirm those gaps were administrative, then prioritise a pre-purchase check of exhaust emissions and binding calipers before committing.
