2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · YF68 PZJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 51,974 miles resulted in a clean pass, it followed a failure just one day prior. That failure involved an offside front tyre with exposed cords and an incorrect nearside headlamp aim, suggesting the owner only addresses safety-critical defects when forced to by the MOT tester. The mileage progression is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between October 2023 at 33,539 miles and October 2024 at 43,527 miles, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles, followed by another 8,447 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the latest test. This suggests a stable usage pattern, which generally limits wear on heavy components like the drivetrain and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyres and wheel alignment, as the record shows recurring failures for tyre wear and structural damage in 2024 and 2025. The offside front tyre was noted for uneven edge wear in 2024, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension components. Given the headlamp aim failure in 2025, verifying that the lighting assemblies are properly secured and adjusted is essential to ensure night visibility and prevent blinding other drivers.
