2017 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · VE67 VOC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 91,481 miles resulted in a pass, despite both front tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a pattern seen in previous years where components are only addressed once they approach failure or trigger advisory warnings, rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The record shows a steady progression of roughly 15,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 15,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. The initial failure in August 2022 at 44,263 miles due to an inoperative engine management warning light suggests a past electronic or sensor fault that required clearing at that stage in the vehicle's life. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the recurring reports of uneven edge wear on the tyres in 2023 and 2025 suggest potential alignment issues or worn control arm bushes. The August 2024 advisory regarding perished rear tyres indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for periods, which can lead to rubber degradation in other seals and suspension components. Additionally, given the thin offside front brake pads noted in 2023, a thorough check of the remaining braking system hardware is necessary to ensure no binding calipers or uneven wear have developed across the axles.
