2017 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line TDI BMT S-A 2.0L Diesel · SL67 MHZ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent and stable maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 March 2024 at 79,168 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to vehicle upkeep, as the tester failed to find any mechanical or structural failures across the last four testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between the November 2020 test at 47,452 miles and the March 2024 test at 79,168 miles, the vehicle covered 31,716 miles, indicating steady use rather than long periods of neglect or excessive strain. The gap between the June 2022 and November 2020 tests shows a slight irregularity in testing frequency, but the lack of advisories during periods suggests the car remained in good mechanical condition during those intervals. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should still focus on the current condition of components subject to wear at this mileage. Given the Tiguan's weight, the buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or fatigue, as these often degrade without triggering MOT failures. The brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or thinning, though the record does not indicate any binding calipers previously. Since the last MOT was performed over two years ago as of June 2026, the vehicle is currently overdue for a test. A fresh inspection is required immediately to verify the structural integrity of the chassis and ensure no corrosion has developed since the last record. The historical data points to a well-maintained vehicle, but the lapse in testing necessitates a current mechanical assessment before any purchase.
