2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · VE67 NDN

A consistent record of roadworthiness is evident, with the vehicle passing all six recorded tests and showing a trend of improving cleanliness in its reports. While the test on 31 December 2025 was clear of any defects, the history between 2021 and 2023 was characterised by repeated advisories regarding worn, pitted, and scored brake discs across both the front and rear axles. The recorded mileage of 55,561 miles over approximately eight years represents a typical annual accumulation of roughly 6,945 miles. This usage pattern suggests a standard rate of wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushes, without the extreme wear associated with high-mileage motorway use or the potential degradation often found in vehicles that have spent prolonged periods stationary. Attention should be paid to the braking system given the history of pitting and scoring on the discs. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or vibrations under heavy braking, which can indicate surface irregularities or warping of the discs. It is important to verify if the brake discs were replaced following the 2022 advisories or if they have simply reached a state of acceptable wear. The repeated mention of fitted under-trays in the MOT records indicates that the inspector's view of the vehicle's underside was partially obstructed. This necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and subframe to check for corrosion or fluid leaks that may have been hidden from view during the official tests. Particular focus should be placed on the structural integrity of the mounting points and the condition of the exhaust system.
