2016 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · WG66 OFP

The 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-16 recorded a pass at 109,987 miles, but an earlier test on the same date and mileage showed a failure with no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or unresolved issues, though no specific faults were documented. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows consistent annual testing since 2022, with no recorded defects in the last three tests. The pattern indicates stable roadworthiness, but the 2025 failure raises questions about the reliability of the data. The car’s mileage of 109,987 miles at 10 years old aligns with typical annual usage of ~11,000 miles. Tests from 2022 to 2024 show steady progression, with 69,887 to 96,751 miles, followed by a jump to 109,987 in 2025. This suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently but may have experienced periods of inactivity, as the 2025 test was conducted at the same mileage as the prior year. The absence of defects in recent tests implies no critical mechanical or structural issues, though the lack of detailed records limits deeper analysis. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often degrade over time. The exhaust system and corrosion on underbody panels are also key areas, as they are common in older vehicles. While the MOT records show no immediate concerns, the 2025 failure and repeated testing at identical mileages warrant further scrutiny to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
