2012 Volkswagen Tiguan S TDI Blue Tech 4MOTION 2.0L Diesel · WV12 DWP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a consistent and stable maintenance history over the past four years. The most recent MOT on 2025-11-13 at 101,869 miles confirmed a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car has been maintained to a high standard in its final year of life. This follows three consecutive successful tests from 2023 to 2024, all without any advisories or failures, suggesting a reliable and well-cared-for ownership pattern. Mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 7,000 to 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Notable gaps include the 10,000-mile span between the 2021 test (74,523 miles) and the 2022 test (82,771 miles), which occurred after a 17-month gap—potentially indicating infrequent use or delayed servicing. However, the subsequent tests have been conducted within a regular 12-month window, with the latest at 101,869 miles, demonstrating renewed attention to compliance and safety. Given the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the record, there is no indication of systemic issues with the drivetrain, suspension, or braking systems. Nevertheless, a buyer should still conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension components, particularly the coil springs and control arms, as these are common wear points on Tiguans of this era. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for binding or uneven wear, especially since the last full service was over a year ago. Additionally, while no corrosion was flagged, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for signs of rust, particularly around the front suspension mounting points and rear quarter panels, which are vulnerable on older Tiguans.
