2017 Volkswagen Touran 1.4L Petrol · HK67 AAY

The most recent MOT test conducted on 18 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, maintaining a consistent and stable maintenance trend over the last five years. With a clean history stretching back to 2021, the vehicle shows no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural issues that typically appear in the MOT testing process. This sequence of passes suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not been subject to significant neglect, providing a high level of confidence in its documented roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 57,221 miles for a nine-year-old vehicle represents an average annual usage of approximately 6,358 miles. This is relatively low for a Volkswagen Touran, which is often used for higher-intensity family or long-distance travel. While lower mileage generally equates to less mechanical stress on the drivetrain, clutch, and engine components, it also indicates that the vehicle may spend considerable time stationary. This usage profile requires a specific inspection approach, as the primary concerns shift from wear-based degradation to age-related deterioration of perishable components. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories, your inspection should focus on the physical condition of rubber and fluid components. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing, which is a common symptom of age and infrequent use. You should also inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting and ensure that the calipers are not binding, as vehicles that sit for long periods can suffer from seized or sticking brake components. During the test drive, pay attention to the suspension for any knocks or clunks, which could indicate that the suspension bushes or coil springs have hardened or degraded due to age rather than mileage. Finally, it is essential to verify that time-based servicing has been carried out, as low mileage does not exempt a vehicle from the need for regular fluid changes. Check the service book for evidence that engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant have been replaced at the correct calendar intervals. You should also assess the health of the 12V battery, as infrequent driving can lead to a loss of charge capacity. A thorough check of the vehicle's underside for any signs of minor fluid leaks or early-stage corrosion will also be beneficial to ensure there are no latent issues that have yet to manifest as an MOT failure.
