2009 Volkswagen Touran 1.9L Diesel · CU09 TLF

The 2009 Volkswagen Touran presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a pass at its most recent MOT on 19 May 2025 at 169,799 miles. However, the DVSA record contains a significant anomaly that warrants scrutiny. On that same date, the vehicle logged both a failure and a pass with zero defects recorded for both entries. A failure without documented defects contradicts standard DVSA testing protocols, suggesting a data entry error or an aborted test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. The preceding 2024 test on 3 June shows a similar pattern, logging a pass at 160,278 miles alongside a same-day failure on 28 May with no defects. Despite these administrative irregularities, the car has consistently achieved a passable standard at each annual inspection. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,988 miles annually. Between the May 2023 test at 149,146 miles and the May 2024 test at 160,278 miles, the Touran covered 11,132 miles. The following year, up to the May 2025 test at 169,799 miles, it recorded 9,521 miles. This indicates consistent, regular use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high motorway mileage. The current MOT expired in May 2026, meaning the car is now over a year past its last test with no updated record to verify its current condition. Because the official record shows zero documented defects, the MOT history offers no specific recurring mechanical faults to target. A buyer must therefore rely on a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components typical of a seventeen-year-old MPV. Suspension bushes and coil springs require close examination for deterioration, alongside a check for binding brake calipers and uneven disc wear. Structural integrity around the sills, subframes, and load-bearing areas demands careful inspection for corrosion. Given the anomalous fail entries on the record, verifying the vehicle's structural condition and ensuring the braking system operates without drag remains essential before purchase.
