2017 Volkswagen Touran 1.4L Petrol · RK17 AAY

The vehicle presents a generally stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent MOT on 10 July 2026 at 55,739 miles indicates a shift toward required consumable maintenance. While the car passed the test, the tester flagged thinning rear brake pads and both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit or perished on the edges. This follows a clean pass in July 2025 at 42,324 miles, suggesting that while the vehicle was well-maintained for a period, the current owner is now reaching a cycle where brake and tyre components require replacement. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a low-to-average usage pattern for a 2017 model. The vehicle has covered 55,739 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 6,200 miles annually. The records show steady progression, with a notable increase in usage between July 2025 and July 2026, where the odometer rose by over 13,000 miles. This recent spike in annual mileage explains the emergence of the wear-related advisories seen in the latest test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of brake-related issues, specifically the thin rear pads noted in both January 2024 and July 2026, alongside pitted or scored front brake discs recorded in January 2024. This suggests the braking components are nearing the end of their service life. Additionally, the repeated advisories regarding tyre wear and perishing across 2020, 2024, and 2026 imply that tyre replacement is a frequent maintenance requirement for this vehicle. Given the history of worn tyres and brake components, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and any potential binding calipers would be prudent to ensure the recent wear has not caused secondary issues. The lack of structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures in the records is a positive indicator, but the immediate budget should account for a fresh set of tyres and a brake service to bring the vehicle up to optimal standard.
