2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · RE18 AAF

The vehicle's roadworthiness status is currently unverified as the most recent MOT record dates back to June 2022. While the car passed on 20 June 2022 at 105,427 miles, the record shows a failure just twelve days prior on 8 June 2022. The lack of any recorded defects for either the pass or the fail is highly irregular and suggests an incomplete data entry or a clerical error in the DVSA system. The mileage accumulation is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase of 23,493 miles between the April 2021 test at 81,934 miles and the June 2022 test at 105,427 miles. This rapid increase in usage over a fourteen month period puts additional stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection because the MOT history is too sparse to confirm long term maintenance. The four year gap since the 2022 test means the vehicle has likely been off the road or untested for a significant period. Priority should be given to checking the brake discs for surface corrosion and the tyres for perishing or flat spots caused by prolonged standing. The high mileage suggests that wear items such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts may be nearing the end of their service life. Given the lack of detailed advisory notes in the history, a professional mechanic should verify the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the exhaust system to ensure no hidden degradation has occurred since the last recorded test.
