2010 Volkswagen Tiguan Rline TDI 4MOT 170 2.0L Diesel · THZ 7555

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a trend of consistent maintenance following intermittent failures. The most recent test conducted on 2 May 2024 at 108,708 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the minimum standard at that time. While the vehicle experienced failures in 2022 and 2023, the subsequent passes suggest that the previous owner addressed the identified issues promptly to maintain legal road status. At 108,708 miles over sixteen years, the Tiguan has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for a SUV of this age. The mileage data shows steady progression, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between April 2022 and April 2023, and another 6,200 miles between April 2023 and May 2024. This regular usage pattern reduces the likelihood of issues associated with long-term standing, which often leads to seized brake calipers or fuel gum buildup in diesel injection systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and undercarriage, as the failures in April 2022 and April 2023 suggest that specific components required remedial work to pass testing. Given the vehicle's age and the 4MOT drivetrain, a thorough check of the control arm bushes, coil springs, and corrosion on the exhaust system is essential. Since the last MOT was now over two years ago, the current condition of the brake pads and tyre treads must be verified to ensure no significant wear has occurred since the 2024 certification.
