2008 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · AJ58 AAU

This vehicle demonstrates a remarkably stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy based on the most recent MOT. The test on 16 December 2024 at 175,092 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been exceptionally well cared for. The mileage is typical for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,727 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase in usage, moving from 153,087 miles in December 2021 to 175,092 miles by December 2024. The most significant jump occurred between December 2023 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered 12,288 miles. This indicates the car is in regular use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps preserve engine seals and braking systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related wear that does not always trigger an MOT failure. While the record is clean, a vehicle with 175,092 miles will likely have wear in the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts. I recommend checking for any signs of oil leaks or seepage around the gaskets and inspecting the underside for surface corrosion, as these are common for a 2008 model regardless of a clean test sheet. The failure on 16 December 2021 at 153,086 miles was resolved immediately on the same day, and the lack of subsequent advisories suggests no recurring mechanical issues. Because the MOT history is unusually sparse regarding faults, a manual check of the brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth is advised to ensure consumables are not nearing their limit before the next scheduled test.
