2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · VN60 OFD

The Volkswagen Tiguan presents an unresolved roadworthiness failure as of the most recent test on 2025-09-24 at 210,002 miles, where the DVSA recorded a fail with no defects listed. This suggests an administrative or unlogged mechanical rejection rather than a clean pass, and the maintenance trend cannot be called stable given the prior year's repeated failure. The owner failed the test on 2024-10-09 at 195,704 miles, passed the next day on 2024-10-10 at 195,721 miles, and cleared the 2023-11-07 test at 179,598 miles without advisories. Mileage stands at 210,002 over roughly sixteen years, an average of 13,125 per year and high for the model age. The jump from 165,244 on 2022-10-21 to 179,598 on 2023-11-07 shows light annual use of about 14,000 miles, but the climb to 195,704 by October 2024 and then to 210,002 by September 2025 indicates accelerating accumulation of nearly 15,000 miles in eleven months. The records carry no advisories across any pass, which is atypical for a high-mileage 2010 chassis and implies either sparse inspection detail or deferred reporting of wear items. A buyer must physically verify why the 2025 test failed with no defects recorded, as the DVLA system offers no clue on brakes, suspension bushes, or exhaust integrity. The 2024 double test within twenty-four hours hints the vehicle had a rectifiable fault cleared quickly, possibly tyres, lamps, or a minor structural check, but the absence of written advisories denies insight into coil springs or corrosion. Given the age and 210k mileage, inspect front subframe rust, wishbone bushes, and brake disc lip in person. The clean history offers no evidence of worsening mechanical trend, yet the final failure leaves roadworthiness unconfirmed until a fresh test or workshop diagnostic settles the outstanding defect.
