Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Focus on verifying the full service history, as the low annual mileage suggests the vehicle may have been used for shorter trips or spent periods stationary. Check that the rear brakes have been serviced or replaced since the 2022 advisory regarding pitted and scored discs. Ensure all tyres are in good condition, as tyre-related advisories appeared in both 2022 and 2024.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Tiguan is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though urban driving may impact fuel economy. Tax and insurance will be based on its 2018 registration and engine size, typically placing it in a mid-range insurance group for family SUVs. Maintenance costs will be typical for a Volkswagen diesel of this age, focusing on oil changes and timing belt intervals.
Inspect the tyres closely for cracking or perishing, as this was flagged in the 2022 and 2024 MOT tests. Check the rear brake discs for signs of pitting or surface corrosion, following the 2022 advisory. Additionally, while not flagged on this specific car, suspension arms and headlamps are common failure points for Tiguans across the wider aggregate data and should be checked for wear or condensation.
This silver 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel has covered 53,050 miles, which is below the model average. Its MOT history shows four tests with four passes, although it has had recurring advisories regarding tyre condition and child seat obstructions. It represents a low-mileage example of this diesel variant.
The Tiguan has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 85.6%, with tyres and suspension arms being the most frequent points of failure.
