2017 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · NE16 HEY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 16 June 2025 at 31,618 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been kept to a high standard without the accumulation of mechanical faults or structural degradation typically seen in heavy-duty SUVs of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 26,653 miles and the June 2025 test at 31,618 miles, the car covered only 4,965 miles. This pattern suggests very limited road use, which generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components or oxidation of fluids that are not captured by mileage alone. Despite the clean record, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to issues associated with low-mileage storage. The buyer should check for cracking in the tyres and suspension bushes, as these can perish over time regardless of distance driven. Since the record shows no historical binding calipers or brake corrosion, the tester should verify the discs are not seized due to lack of use. The structural integrity of the chassis appears sound given that no corrosion advisories have been flagged across the last five annual inspections.
