2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · VX64 XPD

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 111,630 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety requirements. While a failure occurred in early December 2023, the immediate pass on the same day at that mileage suggests the identified issues were minor and rectified promptly by the owner. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. This falls within the typical range for a 12-year-old SUV, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of stationary neglect. Between the December 2022 and December 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 17,147 miles, maintaining a steady usage pattern of roughly 5,700 miles annually recently. This consistent interval reduces the likelihood of hidden component degradation associated with long-term inactivity. Given the clean records from the most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components typical for a Tiguan with over 110,000 miles. A buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs as these often show fatigue at this mileage bracket. Checking the brake discs for thinning and ensuring the rear calipers are not seizing is also prudent, as the MOT does not always detect minor binding issues. A visual inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is necessary to ensure the integrity of the frame remains sound despite the vehicle's age.
