2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · TIL 8037

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 17 November 2025 at 82,579 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults immediately to ensure compliance, and the vehicle has since maintained a clean record through the last two annual testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 68,047 miles and the November 2024 test at 75,910 miles, the vehicle covered 7,963 miles. The subsequent interval saw 6,669 miles covered before the November 2025 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which often helps prevent the seizing of brake seals or degradation of rubber components. While the recent records show no defects, the recurring failures in November 2023 and 2025 indicate that specific components require frequent attention to pass the inspection standard. A physical inspection should focus on the mechanical areas that caused those previous failures, as these are likely points of wear on the Tiguan. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a buyer should also check for corrosion on the structural members and the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these areas typically show signs of fatigue after the twelve year mark regardless of mileage.
