2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · WP64 AFE

The 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan with 104,862 miles demonstrates stable roadworthiness, as the most recent MOT on 2025-12-19 at 104,862 miles recorded no defects. Previous tests from 2024-09-05 (81,779 miles) and 2023-07-31 (69,054 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on the same date (2024-09-05) at 81,777 miles noted no defects. This suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged. The absence of advisories or critical failures in recent records indicates the car has been well-maintained, though the 2025 test is unusually dated ahead of the current date (2026-07-22), raising questions about the accuracy of the record. The vehicle’s mileage of 104,862 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 8,738 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. However, a sharp increase in mileage between 2023-07-31 (69,054 miles) and 2024-09-05 (81,779 miles) suggests a period of higher usage, adding 12,725 miles in 14 months. This could accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems. The 2024-09-05 test, which failed but recorded no defects, may indicate procedural errors or minor issues not captured in the report. The MOT history remains otherwise clean, with no evidence of recurring faults or neglect. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, as high mileage can degrade these parts. The exhaust system, particularly the catalytic converter, warrants scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and potential for corrosion. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as rapid mileage increases can strain these systems. While the MOT records show no critical issues, the vehicle’s long-term usage patterns and the anomalous 2025 test date recommend a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical integrity.
