2010 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · WG60 GGE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 with 163,092 miles and no recorded defects. While the history shows two instances of failure, both were rectified immediately within the same testing period, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related faults. The lack of any advisories on the latest pass certificate indicates that the mechanical and structural components inspected by the tester currently meet the minimum legal standards for road use. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old Tiguan, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per annum. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the vehicle covered 9,201 miles, while the following year saw a slightly higher increase of 9,668 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is often beneficial for maintaining seals, suspension components, and battery health. The intervals between tests remain fixed at the annual requirement, reflecting a disciplined approach to the vehicle's statutory annual maintenance schedule. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the suspension and drivetrain components, as the high mileage of over 163,000 miles inevitably accelerates wear on rubber bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Despite the clean recent report, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check for structural corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system, which the MOT only examines superficially. Given the previous failures, a thorough check of the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc thickness is advisable to ensure that the minor issues which previously caused failures are not resurfacing.
