2009 Volkswagen Touran 1.9L Diesel · AG09 RHZ

The 2009 Volkswagen Touran presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 169,362 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 7 October 2023 at 120,891 miles, which the DVLA record shows with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentational failure rather than a mechanical fault on the same day it passed. Annual mileage averages around 9,962 miles, typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. The records show consistent accumulation: 104,009 miles in June 2022, 120,891 miles by October 2023, 149,181 miles in September 2024, and 169,362 miles by October 2025. The gap between the June 2022 and October 2023 tests spans over 16 months, yet covered only 16,882 miles, suggesting lighter use in that window rather than deferred maintenance. The clean sheets across all passing tests imply the previous owners kept consumables and structure within tolerance. No advisories appear for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and subframe rust, as MOT passes at this age do not guarantee absence of developing corrosion. Verify the brake calipers are free and the tyres carry legal tread, given the 2023 same-day fail-pass anomaly warrants confirmation the vehicle was not presented with a roadworthiness discrepancy. Given the sparse but clean history, the Touran shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring corrective action. The high mileage demands scrutiny of clutch wear, turbocharger condition, and DSG mechatronics if fitted, none of which an MOT assesses. Budget for imminent consumable replacement simply on age and distance travelled.
