2012 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · LN62 AAO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 9 July 2025 at 172,737 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to November 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern reveals a significant shift in usage. Between November 2021 and November 2022, the car covered 16,497 miles, showing typical heavy use. However, the odometer readings from October 2023 at 172,614 miles through to July 2025 at 172,737 miles show the vehicle has covered only 123 miles over nearly two years. This suggests the car has been stationary for a prolonged period, which introduces different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of components prone to deterioration during long periods of inactivity. Check for flat spots on tyres, seized brake calipers, and perished rubber seals or suspension bushes. The lack of recent mileage increases the likelihood of battery degradation and fluid contamination. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the high total mileage of 172,737 miles means drivetrain components and the exhaust system are well into their wear cycle. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine and age that the MOT test does not validate.
