2009 Volkswagen Touran 1.9L Diesel · CV59 LPA

The 2009 Volkswagen Touran presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 13 December 2025 at 140,334 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests in June 2024 at 130,671 miles and May 2023 at 111,669 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 9 May 2023 at 111,669 miles, which the DVSA log shows with no defects recorded, followed by a pass the next day; this points to an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance record therefore shows no worsening pattern and no recurring advisories across the last three years. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,255 miles against the vehicle's 17-year life, a typical figure for a family MPV. The gap between the November 2022 test at 103,618 miles and the May 2023 test at 111,669 miles covers only six months yet adds 8,051 miles, suggesting heavier short-term use before the car settled back to a normal rate by mid-2024. The jump to 130,671 miles by June 2024 and 140,334 by December 2025 shows steady, unremarkable accumulation with no standing periods or sudden spikes that would worry a buyer. Given the clean MOT trail, the buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of consumable and structural items that a pass does not detail. Check brake disc thickness, suspension bushes, and coil springs for age-related fatigue, as a 140,000-mile Touran will have worn these without the tester logging an advisory. Examine subframe and sills for corrosion, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. The absence of recorded faults implies the previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the single same-mileage fail suggests paperwork or presentation lapses rather than neglect. A pre-purchase check of tyre tread depth and wiper blades remains sensible, but no mechanical red flags emerge from the official history.
