2021 Volkswagen Touareg V6 Black Edition TDI A 3.0L Diesel · D9 OXO

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-04-23 MOT at 88,244 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests in 2024-04-25 (60,264 miles) and 2024-04-24 (60,262 miles) also showed no defects, despite one failing the test. This suggests consistent maintenance, though the lack of recorded issues in a failed test may indicate procedural anomalies. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident from the MOT history. The mileage of 88,244 miles over five years equates to an average of 17,649 miles annually, which is above the typical range for this age. A significant jump from 60,262 miles in April 2024 to 88,244 miles by April 2025—nearly 28,000 miles in 12 months—raises questions about usage patterns. This rapid accumulation could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The absence of advisories or defects in the MOT records does not preclude hidden degradation, particularly in high-mileage scenarios. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, given the high mileage, and check brake systems for uneven disc wear or caliper binding. The exhaust system, especially near the catalytic converter, warrants scrutiny for corrosion or leaks. While the MOT history shows no structural rust or critical failures, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the integrity of drivetrain components and ensure no latent issues were overlooked.
