2013 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · WN62 DRX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on February 24, 2026 at 67,094 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior at nearly the same mileage. This sequence suggests a minor easily rectified issue, such as a blown bulb or a sensor fault, which was addressed immediately before the re-test. The clean sheets from the 2024 and 2025 tests indicate the vehicle has avoided significant mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,161 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, with 4,840 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 4,871 miles covered between February 2025 and 2026. Such low annual mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components like the engine and gearbox, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluids if the car sits stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related decay rather than high-mileage wear. Given the age, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these can perish over time regardless of distance. Check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust seizing. While the MOT history shows no structural issues, a close look at the chassis for surface corrosion remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental damage to the frame.
