2015 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · SH14 ADY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the November 2025 test at 112,297 miles. This most recent result indicates that previous mechanical issues have been addressed, moving away from a period of increasing advisories seen between 2021 and 2024. While the vehicle has experienced intermittent failures, the absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests a current state of compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 33,103 miles in November 2018 to the current 112,297 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals or sudden surges in mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty use. Historical records highlight a recurring trend regarding suspension component wear. The tester flagged worn front suspension arm bushes in both the November 2023 and November 2024 tests at 86,532 and 98,880 miles respectively. A fractured nearside front coil spring also caused a failure in November 2021 at 63,111 miles. These patterns suggest that while the vehicle is being maintained, the suspension system is a known area of wear for this specific chassis. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and rubber bushings to ensure the recent pass has resolved the previous bushing issues. The history also shows frequent advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit, specifically in 2020, 2021, and 2023. Checking the remaining tread depth and the condition of the brake discs is advisable, as the record shows a history of pitting and scoring on the discs dating back to 2018 and 2020.
