Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those needing a large diesel MPV, provided the high mileage is factored into the price. The recent MOT history shows a consistent passing record without recurring defects.
Given the 134,250 miles recorded, your primary focus should be on the service history. For a 2.0L diesel engine of this age, ensure that major service intervals, such as the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump, have been addressed. High-mileage diesel engines require consistent oil changes to prevent turbocharger issues.
When negotiating, use the mileage as a lever. While the MOT history is relatively clean, the vehicle has covered significant distance annually. Ask for evidence of recent heavy-duty maintenance, such as clutch or flywheel replacements, which are common requirements as these vehicles approach the 150,000-mile mark.
As a 1968cc diesel, this Touran is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though tax and insurance will depend on the specific trim and driver profile. Diesel fuel costs will be more economical for high-mileage drivers compared to petrol equivalents, but be mindful of potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges depending on the Euro emission standard.
Maintenance costs for a Volkswagen of this age can be higher than budget brands, particularly regarding parts for the 2.0L engine. Expect typical wear-and-tear costs for brakes, tyres, and suspension components to occur more frequently given the recorded mileage.
Inspect the vehicle thoroughly for any signs of underside corrosion or suspension wear, although no specific MOT failures for these items were noted in the recent history. Pay close attention to the engine's performance; listen for any unusual noises from the turbo or diesel injectors during a test drive.
Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are standard consumables that may be nearing the end of their life given the 134,250 miles covered. Although the 2023 MOT showed a failure, the specific defect was not listed, so a general mechanical inspection by a professional is highly recommended to ensure no latent issues exist.
This 2017 white Volkswagen Touran is powered by a 2.0L diesel engine and has covered 134,250 miles as of its last MOT in May 2025. While the mileage is high for a nine-year-old vehicle, the MOT record shows a pattern of passing tests, including a clean result in 2025. The vehicle has undergone five recorded MOT tests since its first registration in March 2017.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Volkswagen Touran to provide a specific statistical comparison.
