2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · RE60 WBZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of passes. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 76,521 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a momentary failure occurred on 23 May 2024 at 69,690 miles, the immediate rectification and subsequent re-test pass just two miles later suggest that the owner is responsive to mechanical requirements when flagged by the DVSA. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,783 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 58,424 miles and May 2025 at 76,521 miles, the Tiguan covered roughly 18,000 miles. This low-utilization profile often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, the age of the vehicle means that age-related degradation of rubber seals, suspension bushings, and brake lines remains a relevant factor despite the low odometer reading. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the sills and rear wheel arches, where corrosion often develops regardless regardless of mileage. Because the vehicle has been driven sparingly, the buyer should specifically check for flat-spotted tyres or seized brake calipers which can occur during long periods of inactivity. Inspect the suspension components for signs of cracking or perishedারwork, as low mileage does not prevent the natural breakdown of synthetic materials over time.
