2004 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Petrol · WP54 PUK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive repairs. The most recent test in November 2025 at 111,701 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional fog lamp and both rear tyres reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the presence of tyre wear-related failures suggests the owner may wait for an MOT failure to address basic consumable items rather than monitoring them during routine servicing. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 111,701 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the last years, with roughly 2,300 miles driven between December 2024 and November 2025. This low-mileage profile generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of material degradation in rubber-based components regardless of distance traveled, which is evident in the issues noted in the service history. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the record indicates recurring wear on the suspension arm bushes dating back to 2022 and 2023. These components were noted as worn yet not causing excessive movement at the time, but their persistence suggests they are nearing failure or have not been replaced. You should also verify the condition of the rear brake hoses, which were flagged for deterioration in 2022, and check for any cracks or bulging in the rubber. The feathered tyre wear noted in 2022 indicates a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that should be checked to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
