VOLKSWAGEN TOURAN2017 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent test on May 1, 2024 at 53,979 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a single failure occurred briefly in May 2023, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass without advisories suggest the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical faults identified by the tester. The mileage pattern remains low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between May 2021 and May 2022, the car covered 14,347 miles, but usage dropped significantly in the following years, recording only 8,403 miles in 2022 and 8,412 miles in 2023. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain, though periods of low use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and dry seals due to lack of regular operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Since the MOT record shows no recurring advisories for structural rust or brake corrosion, the priority should be checking the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs which can perish over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear and ensure the tyres are not perished, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber hardening before the tread reaches the legal limit.
