2013 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · SM63 EYJ

The 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 December 2025 at 88,048 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical expectations for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 65,666 miles at the 8 December 2021 test, rising to 74,164 by 8 December 2022, 79,021 by 13 December 2023, 84,413 by 17 December 2024, and 88,048 by the December 2025 test. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 9,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, showing five consecutive passes and no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the shell. Clean MOT sheets do not certify the condition of coil springs, track-rod ends, or subframe mounting points, and a Tiguan of this age can harbour structural rust where the tester cannot see without lifting panels. Verify the brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as these items wear silently between annual tests. Check service evidence to confirm cambelt and water pump intervals were met, since the MOT record stays silent on internal drivetrain care. The low defect history implies the previous keepers addressed consumables before each December test, but physical confirmation of underside integrity remains the prudent step before purchase.
