2020 Volkswagen Touareg V6 Black Edition TDI A 3.0L Diesel · AD02 AMS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a brief period of inconsistency. The most recent MOT test conducted on 1 September 2025 at 48,785 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that any previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This reflects an improving trend compared to the prior year, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets all legal safety requirements. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,130 miles per year. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the car covered 9,457 miles, showing a slight increase in annual use compared to the historical average. The failure on 3 September 2024 at 39,323 miles occurred just two days before a successful pass at 39,328 miles, suggesting a minor consumable failure or a lighting issue that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Given the clean record from the last two tests, a buyer should focus physical inspection on the components most likely to cause the 2024 failure, though the record does not specify the exact fault. At this mileage of nearly 49,000 miles, the heavy chassis of the Touareg warrants a check for worn suspension bushes and coil spring fatigue. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear and check the calipers for binding, as the weight of the vehicle places significant stress on the braking system over time.
