2008 Volkswagen Touareg 4.9L Diesel · R50 TBB

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 13 August 2025 at 100,991 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to July 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,611 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase in usage, rising from 86,539 miles in July 2022 to 100,991 miles by August 2025. This indicates the car is in regular use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing, though the low annual average suggests it has not been used for heavy commuting or long-distance towing. A single failure occurred on 26 July 2022 at 86,539 miles, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure, and the vehicle passed five days later. The absence of advisories over the last four years is unusual for a Touareg of this vintage. Buyers should specifically inspect the chassis and suspension components for hidden corrosion and check the condition of the rubber bushings. Low-mileage older vehicles often hide issues related to perished seals or degraded fluids. A physical inspection should focus on the brake discs for surface pitting and the tyres for age-related cracking, as these consumables may be overdue for replacement despite the lack of MOT advisories. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes occurred regardless of the low annual mileage.
