2012 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · SA62 AAZ

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend over the recent years. The most recent inspection conducted on 7 January 2026 at 119,216 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 110,939 miles, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting all minimum safety standards without immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression between December 2022 (98,484 miles) and December 2023 (102,951 miles), followed by a more recent period of 8,000 miles leading into early 2025. The brief failure recorded on 2 January 2025 at 110,878 miles was rectified quickly, as the vehicle passed 20 days later, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related faults rather than allowing them to escalate. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to age-related degradation rather than immediate failure. Given the 119,000-mile mark, the suspension arm bushes and rear coil springs should be checked for cracking or fatigue, as these often wear out on the Tiguan at this mileage. Inspect the brake pipe lines for excessive corrosion and the structural integrity of the subframes for rust, though the record does not flag these areas in recent tests.
