2020 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Tech TDI 4MOTION 2.0L Diesel · SW04 ABW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 3 July 2025 at 72,213 miles which returned with no recorded defects. This indicates that any mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from an advisory in the prior year to a completely clean pass suggests the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet DVSA safety standards. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high usage, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum which sits above the typical national average for a six-year-old diesel. A significant usage spike occurred between March 2023 at 28,717 miles and December 2024 at 69,975 miles, covering over 41,000 miles in roughly 21 months. This rapid accumulation places higher demands on the 4MOTION drivetrain drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system, though the record shows no major structural failures to date. A buyer should specifically inspect the front end geometry and suspension components in person, as the December 2024 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn on the edge often points to alignment issues or worn control arm bushes. Given the high annual mileage accumulation, a thorough check of the brake discs for uneven wear and the turbocharger housing for leaks is advisable. While the MOT history is currently clean, the high mileage means that consumables and rubber-related components may be nearing their replacement intervals sooner than a lower-mileage equivalent.
