2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · WM67 OBF

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent MOT test conducted in March 2026 at 80,629 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of clean passes dating back to 2024, indicating that the vehicle is maintained to a high standard and does not suffer from the recurring mechanical failures often seen in older SUVs. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 15,945 miles, while the subsequent year saw a slightly lower figure of 11,946 miles up to the March 2026 test. This regular usage pattern suggests the vehicle is used for daily commuting or long-distance transit rather than sitting for extended periods, which typically helps prevent seal degradation and brake-related corrosion issues. While the history is largely clean, the failure recorded on 18 March 2023 at 37,605 miles suggests a specific issue that was rectified immediately before the passing pass. Since no subsequent tests have flagged advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust corrosion, the structural integrity of the Tiguan appears to be well-preserved. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the control arm bushings and shock absorbers as these are the primary components likely to show wear as the vehicle approaches the 90,000-mile mark.
