2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · SW14 HNK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of clean testing results. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 September 2025 at 79,805 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded in early October 2024, the immediate successful re-test just five days later suggests a minor consumable issue or a simple mechanical fault that was rectified quickly, rather than a pattern of deep mechanical neglect. The mileage history is consistent with a low-average-use profile, averaging approximately 6,650 miles per annum. Between July 2022 and July 2023, the vehicle covered 7,926 miles, followed by a gap of 9,962 miles between the July 2023 and October 2024 tests. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of the drivetrain and suspension components compared to long-standing vehicles, though the age of the vehicle remains a factor for rubber-related degradation regardless of the distance driven. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the last three tests, a physical inspection should focus on common Tiguan wear points that do not always trigger an MOT failure. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of cracking, as these often perish over twelve years even with low mileage. Checking the brake discs for heavy corrosion and inspecting the exhaust system for structural rust is also advisable, as the MOT record does not detail the surface state of these components until they become a failure point. The clean history suggests the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to vehicle upkeep.
