2018 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · 152 KC

The 2018 Volkswagen Touareg presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 44,558 miles recorded a pass with no defects, continuing an unbroken sequence of five annual passes since the first test in January 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification work to meet statutory standards. Annual mileage has remained low against the eight-year age of the vehicle. The January 2022 test at 5,701 miles shows very light early use, rising to 13,080 miles by January 2023, 19,362 by January 2024, 30,882 by January 2025, and 44,558 by January 2026. The largest single-year gain was 13,676 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests, yet the lifetime average stays near 5,570 miles per year. The record is sparse on faults but shows consistent tester attendance with no lapsed certificates. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition given the low annual use, as standing periods can accelerate corrosion and allow caliper seizure unseen by an MOT pass. The absence of advisories means no specific structural or exhaust emission concerns are flagged in the data. Verify underbody integrity and check for fluid leaks not captured in the annual tests. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline without deferring appointments. The clean sheet implies basic upkeep was not skipped, though low mileage alone does not confirm proactive servicing of consumables such as tyres or wiper blades between tests.
