2007 Volkswagen Touran 1.4L Petrol · AF57 HFL

The 2007 Volkswagen Touran presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 18 August 2025 at 151,117 miles, and the maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or defects logged across the recent record. The vehicle cleared its latest test one day after a failed attempt on 16 August 2025 at the same mileage, though the failure carried no recorded defects, pointing to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,954 per year for a 19-year-old car, with the odometer reading 135,189 miles at the July 2023 pass, 148,814 miles at the August 2024 tests, and 151,117 miles by August 2025. The 13,625-mile gain between July 2023 and August 2024 is slightly above the annual norm, then usage dropped to just 2,303 miles over the following year. The DVSA data is sparse, showing zero defects or advisories at any stage, so no wear-driven patterns emerge from the record itself. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the age and 151,117 miles accumulated. The twin failed tests on 16 August 2025 and 8 August 2024 with no defects noted warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match and that no suppressed fault was rectified off-record before the pass. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be checked where the MOT examiner may not have lifted trim, and exhaust emissions verified on a cold start. The clean history implies reasonable care by prior owners, but the two zero-defect failures suggest verifying the car's test lineage before purchase.
