2012 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0L Diesel · YR12 WPA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT test on 15 January 2026 at 99,664 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just four miles earlier on the same day. This sequence suggests a minor technical issue that was rectified immediately to meet compliance standards. Since 2023, the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections without any recorded failures or advisories. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,119 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 77,902 miles in January 2023 to 99,664 miles in early 2026. This pattern indicates regular use rather than long periods ofກັບ, which often leads to perished seals and fluid degradation. The consistent annual intervals of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles between tests suggest the vehicle has been maintained on a predictable schedule. While the MOT history is clean of recurring structural or mechanical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Tiguan of this age. Given the mileage approaching the 100,000-mile mark, the buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often suffer fatigue at this interval. Checking the brake discs for thinning and calipers for binding is essential as MOT tests only measure the remaining life of these components. Examining the chassis for early signs of surface corrosion is also prudent to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the passing years.
