2013 Volkswagen Touran 1.4L Petrol · YK13 AAD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 24 March 2026 at 73,143 miles which returned with no defects or advisories. This result follows a clean pass in October 2024, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of mechanical compliance without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage history is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. A significant gap in usage exists between the October 2024 test at 73,001 miles and the most recent test in March 2026, where the car covered only 142 miles in five months. This pattern suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain but can lead to the age-related failure of rubber components not captured by standard MOT testing. Despite the clean electronic record, a physical inspection must focus on signs of neglect associated with low-mileage use. The buyer should check for sidewall cracking on tyres and perished suspension bushes, as these components degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Given the age, the brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting from infrequent use, and the underbody must be examined for structural rust that may not yet reached the threshold of an MOT failure.
