2006 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · AH05 RDR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 at 156,732 miles, and the pattern of results over the last five years shows a stable maintenance record with no recurring failures. Mileage has risen from 132,061 miles in October 2022 to 156,732 miles in October 2025, an average of roughly 8,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 20‑year‑old SUV. The interval between tests is consistently twelve months, and the recorded figures increase in a regular, linear fashion, indicating no periods of unusually rapid accumulation or long storage gaps. The MOT entries contain no recorded defects, advisories, or failures aside from an isolated failure entry on 23 October 2023 that lists no specific fault. This suggests that any issues that may have arisen were resolved promptly, and that major components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust emissions have not triggered formal notices. Nonetheless, a prospective buyer should examine the condition of the tyre tread and sidewalls, check for any emerging rust on wheel arches and under‑carriage, and verify that the braking system feels consistent with no pulsation or uneven pull, as these are wear items that may not appear on the MOT until they become critical. A visual inspection of the suspension for play in the control arms and a test of the steering for binding will confirm that the vehicle’s structural integrity remains sound.
