2017 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · BN17 AEB

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 28 April 2025 at 78,755 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, suggesting that the previous owners have performed regular inspections and maintained the vehicle without lingering mechanical or structural issues that typically trigger MOT failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,750 miles per annum. Between the March 2022 test at 31,322 miles and the April 2025 test at 78,755 miles, the vehicle covered over 47,000 miles, though this represents a notable increase in annual mileage compared to the earlier years where it covered under 10,000 miles per interval. This transition suggests a shift from light use to more active road driving, which is often beneficial for engine seals and exhaust components to prevent carbon buildup. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on wear patterns common to Touaregs at this mileage. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushings and coil springs, as these components often show degradation after 75,000 miles. Checking the brake discs for signs of uneven wear or thinning thickness is also prudent, as the MOT does not measure the depth of de-rating on components unless a safety failure is present.
