2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · VU64 CZC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in December 2025 at 95,659 miles. While the overall trend appears stable, the recent failure just one week prior to that pass indicates a specific mechanical weakness regarding the rear axle assembly. The tester previously flagged the offside rear suspension arm as damaged and seriously weakened alongside corrosion on the nearside arm. The subsequent pass suggests the owner took action to replace these structural components immediately to meet safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles annually. There was a significant period of activity between November 2023 and November 2024, where the car covered over 17,000 miles in twelve months. However, the interval between the November 2024 and December 2025 tests shows only 11,478 miles, suggesting a shift in usage which often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension to ensure the repairs on the control arms were executed correctly. The presence of corrosion on the nearside arm in late 2025 indicates that the vehicle is susceptible to salt-related degradation, necessitating a check for further rust on the subframe mounting points and brake lines. Given the age and mileage, the condition of the shock absorbers and the integrity of the rubber bushes should be verified as these are common next points of failure on the Tiguan of this era.
