2011 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · AX60 AYB

The 2011 Volkswagen Touran is recorded as having passed its most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 172,403 miles; the test flagged several advisories – oil leak, worn suspension arm bushes, deteriorated CV boot, slight anti‑roll bar ball‑joint play, rear brake binding and minor tyre surface damage – but no outright failures, suggesting a maintenance pattern that has stabilised after earlier recurring issues. Across fifteen years the vehicle has accumulated 172,403 miles, averaging roughly 11,500 miles per year, which sits within normal usage for a family MPV. Mileage rose from 86,132 miles in October 2015 to 102,475 miles by September 2016, then to 119,377 miles by September 2017, indicating consistent annual travel of 15–17 k miles during that period. Subsequent years show a gradual slowdown, with only 3–9 k miles added between most tests, and the most recent interval (2024‑2026) adding 6.6 k miles, reinforcing the view that the car has not been subjected to excessive short‑term mileage spikes. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and steering components that have repeatedly appeared on the record. Inspect the front lower arm bushes, rear anti‑roll bar ball joints and the CV boot for signs of wear or fluid leakage, and verify that any previous coil‑spring failures have been properly replaced. Examine the rear brake assembly for binding, especially on the off‑side, and check the condition of all four tyres for cracking, tread depth and sidewall integrity, as the recent advisories indicate early surface deterioration. Finally, confirm that the wheel rims are free of distortion and that the shock absorber bushes are sound, as past advisories noted rear bump‑stop disintegration and slightly worn bushes.
