Our Verdict
Approach this 2007 Volkswagen Touran diesel with caution and a realistic budget for upcoming suspension and brake maintenance. It has a consistent MOT pass record but shows clear signs of wear consistent with high mileage use.
When viewing this Touran, prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the 2021 MOT noted worn suspension arm pins/bushes and a severely deteriorated ball joint dust cover on the near side front. You should also confirm the offside rear brake is no longer binding, as this was flagged in 2021 but not addressed in the 2022 test comments. Negotiate based on the recorded mileage of 171,540 miles and the need for suspension refresh, as these are not negligible costs on a 2007 model.
The 1896cc diesel engine in this Touran typically offers reasonable fuel economy for a people carrier, though exact figures are not provided in the data. As a 2007 diesel, it will fall into a higher emissions tax band than modern equivalents and may face ULEZ charges in some cities. Insurance group and maintenance costs are not specified, but with 171,540 miles on the clock, budget for routine wear items such as brakes and suspension. Estimated annual running cost is £1,000-£1,300 including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance.
Specific MOT advisories to verify include the near side and off side front suspension arm pins/bushes worn in 2021, and the near side front ball joint dust cover severely deteriorated at the same test. The off side rear service brake binding noted in 2021 should be checked to ensure it has been freed off, and both registration plate lamps (inoperative in 2021 and 2022) must be confirmed working. Given the 171,540 mileage, inspect the clutch, turbo, and cambelt history if available, as these are common high-mileage diesel concerns not covered by the MOT data.
This red GF07AAN Touran, first registered in April 2007, has covered 171,540 miles as of its last MOT in February 2022, which is well above typical mileage for a 15-year-old family diesel. MOT history shows no failures, but several advisories flag worn suspension arms, a binding rear brake, and inoperative registration plate lamps across multiple tests. The 1.9-litre diesel engine and full MOT pass record are positives, though the high mileage and noted wear points suggest deferred maintenance is likely.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Volkswagen Touran, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2007 model year cars.
- Heavy recall load concentrated in the early build yearsModerate
Carwow's Touran reliability page counts ten recalls since the model launched and says most occurred in the earlier years of production, with none after 2020 for the later car. RAC's 2003-2010 used guide independently records a recall to fix a fault with the tyre-pressure-monitoring system on those first-era cars. Because VW stopped selling the Touran in the UK, an outstanding campaign will not be chased up for you, so a used buyer has to reconcile the build date against the recall list before committing.
- Electrical and switchgear faults on older 1T carsModerate
RAC's Touran used guide found the only consistent pattern in owner complaints was electrical, mainly affecting older cars, and advises thoroughly testing all such controls before buying. Auto Express's (2011-2015) review sets that in context: it says the Touran uses tried-and-tested Golf running gear with most teething troubles ironed out, but reports that owners in its Driver Power survey admired the Touran's practicality and little else, with Volkswagen finishing 19th of 33 manufacturers and its dealers criticised for high prices. Expect switch, socket and module gremlins rather than engine failures, and expect dealer labour to cost more than the repair is worth.
- Diesel DPF and emissions compliance plus seat and load-area abuseModerate
Wikipedia's Touran engine data records 2.0 TDI DPF variants from 2005-2010 (BMM) and 2010-2015 (CBAB), and notes the 1.9 TDI was the exception to Euro 4 compliance when paired with the DSG gearbox. RAC's 2003-2010 guide tells buyers to inspect the load area for damage and the rear seats, to look for cars used as ex-airport taxis or fleet motorway floggers, to check front tyre wear patterns and to scrutinise odometer readings. For a 15-to-20-year-old seven-seater, the combination of a town-driven diesel and a hard-used interior is the real risk, not the chassis.
