2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · VA18 TYC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 50,764 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, mirroring the results of several consecutive tests. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle proactively and that the mechanical components are operating within expected parameters for their age. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. Between the July 2021 test at 30,181 miles and the July 2022 test at 39,093 miles, the car covered 9,000 miles, representing a period of higher activity. Since then, the accumulation has slowed to roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles per year. This low annual mileage generally preserves the drivetrain and suspension, though the lack of recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion alerts indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to undue stress. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components that are not subject to rigorous annual testing. The 2021 record noted a nail in the offside rear tyre, which was a minor consumable issue, but the current tyre set should be checked for uneven wear or age rot. Given the low mileage, the rubber suspension components such as control arm bushings should be inspected for cracking or degradation, and the brake discs should be examined for pitting or surface rust which can occur on vehicles that sit for long periods.
