2013 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · RO13 WFU

The vehicle maintains a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 15 June 2026 at 133,874 miles. This lack of recent defects indicates that any previous mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows a period of proactive upkeep, as the vehicle has passed without advisories in the last two inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and June 2026, the vehicle covered 6,253 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 1,500 miles annually. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of seals and components in vehicles of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension de-wear components. The June 2023 test at 129,029 miles flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms, along with a worn offside rear anti-roll bar linkage. While these did not cause a failure at the time, they indicate the beginning of a rubber component degradation cycle. An on-site inspection should verify that these parts have been replaced or that they have not developed significant play, which could affect handling and uneven tyre wear.
