2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · RE51 FOX

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 138,734 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the previous four years. The mileage pattern sits high for a 2016 model, averaging roughly 13,873 miles per year. Records show 97,835 miles at the 17 February 2022 test, then 118,157 miles by 9 February 2023, 124,985 by 26 January 2024, 130,274 by 12 February 2025, and 138,734 by the February 2026 test. Annual accumulation held between 8,000 and 20,000 miles with no standing gaps or abrupt surges. The DVSA history is sparse on faults, listing no advisories or failures at any stage, which suggests consistent basic upkeep rather than deferred correction of emerging wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the ten-year age and elevated mileage. The clean MOT record does not certify component life remaining, only that items met minimum test thresholds on the day. Prior to purchase, verify service history aligns with the mileage and confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions through a live road test. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring mechanical trend requires specific monitoring from the official data.
