2017 Volkswagen Tiguan R Line TDI BMT 4MOTN SA 2.0L Diesel · VN67 CDX

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 9 May 2026 at 137,847 miles where no defects were recorded. The overall maintenance trend appears stable and consistent following a brief failure in early 2023. Since that failure, the vehicle has passed two consecutive annual tests without any advisories or failures, suggesting that the current owner is addressing mechanical requirements promptly to keep the Tiguan in a condition that meets DVSA standards. The mileage profile indicates high-intensity use, averaging approximately 15,300 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a significant surge in usage between the September 2021 test at 73,512 miles and the May 2024 test at 114,322 miles, representing over 40,000 miles in just under three years. This rapid accumulation has continued with another 23,500 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2026. Such high mileage puts considerable strain on the drivetrain components, particularly the 4Motion system and turbocharger-related assembly, compared to lower-mileage examples of the same age. While the recent records are clean, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of wear-heavy components that MOT tests do not cover. A buyer should specifically check for perished suspension control arm bushes and shock absorber leaks, which often degrade significantly at this interval. Given the mileage, the brake discs should be inspected for thinning or glazing, and the rear calipers should be checked for uneven binding. The structural integrity of the underbody remains a vital check to ensure that high-mileage motorway use has not led to accelerated corrosion on the chassis or exhaust mounting points.
