2012 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · CV12 YPO

The 2012 Volkswagen Touran presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 84,510 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following four consecutive annual passes. The November 2024 entry shows a failed test on 14 November at 77,330 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or recurring defects appear across the five-year record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 14-year-old vehicle. The record shows 63,957 miles in November 2022, rising to 71,563 by November 2023, then 77,330 by November 2024, and 84,510 by November 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps or standing periods evident. The clean test history across these dates suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable wear within test limits, though the absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes or corroding brake discs were not flagged for attention. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record shows no advisories but does not confirm absence of early-stage rust on sills or subframes. The twin November 2024 pass-fail at 77,330 miles warrants a check of the DVSA reason code, since a no-defect failure often stems from documentation or emissions equipment faults caught at the test bay. Given the sparse but clean history, focus the viewing on brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and tyre tread depth across all four corners. The Touran's MacPherson front suspension and rear torsion beam are prone to bush degradation by this mileage, and the tester logged nothing only because items stayed inside limits. Verify service records to confirm cambelt and water pump intervals were met independent of the MOT data.
