2009 Volkswagen Touareg 2.5L Diesel · AD59 VMC

The Volkswagen Touareg presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 5 December 2025 at 100,173 miles, with the tester recording no defects. The maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable and clean. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed the test on 4 December 2025 at 100,170 miles, yet the failure carried no listed defects, which points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Earlier tests on 28 November 2024 at 85,783 miles and 20 December 2023 at 67,242 miles both passed with no advisories. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 2009 vehicle. Over the twelve months to November 2024 the Touareg covered 18,541 miles, then a further 14,390 miles to December 2025, averaging near 5,900 miles per year across its life. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the supplied entries. The sparse record, with only four tests shown and zero advisories, gives little insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion, though low annual mileage often masks aged rubber components and fluid degradation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's seventeen years. The MOT data flags no structural rust or binding calipers, but the December 2025 fail with no defects warrants confirmation that the V5C and test paperwork are in order. Check underbody chassis legs and subframe mounts for corrosion that a clean MOT may not capture on a low-mileage older 4x4. Given the absent advisories, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current, yet the unexplained failure suggests loose record-keeping. Treat the clean history as a positive but verify drivetrain condition and coolant age before purchase.
