2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · WH63 DDA

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass in March 2026 at 123,334 miles. This recent result indicates that the vehicle meets the minimum safety and emission standards despite a previous failure in early January 2025. The failure at 107,115 miles suggests a specific defect required rectification, but the subsequent pass 41 days later demonstrates the owner addressed the issue promptly. The overall trend shows a consistent maintenance standard over the last three years. The mileage profile reflects typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between December 2022 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 7,000 miles in thirteen months. However, usage has accelerated recently, with over 15,000 miles recorded between January 2025 and March 2026. This surge in activity suggests the car is currently being used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing component seizing and seals drying out long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as these are high-wear areas for a Tiguan of this age. While the recent records show no active advisories, the high mileage increases the likelihood of worn suspension bushes, control arm balls, and shock absorbers. Given the age of the vehicle, a close inspection for corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust mounting points is necessary to ensure structural integrity has not been compromised beyond what the MOT tester identifies.
