2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · SD18 FDJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 5 November 2025 at 58,995 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met all standards. This stability suggests a proactive maintenance regime, as the vehicle has avoided the recurring failures or escalating wear issues that typically affect SUVs of this age and model. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,374 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 34,649 miles and the November 2024 test at 50,662 miles, the car covered 16,013 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. The short-interval in March 2023 at 40,943 miles further confirms the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods. This low-average annual mileage generally implies less stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspensionrelated rubber components. Because the MOT record shows no historical advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the current state of consumable items. A buyer should still check for uneven tyre wear or the condition of the brake pads, as these can degrade even on low mileage vehicles. Given the clean record, the structural integrity of the chassis appears sound, with no evidence of rust-related weaknesses being flagged in the previous four years of testing.
