2013 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · CV62 UCT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 153,915 miles, the record reveals recurring issues with the rear suspension and geometry. The presence of corrosion on the rear sub-frame in both 2023 and 2026 suggests a progressive structural concern that is currently below the failure threshold but likely to deteriorate if not monitored. At 153,915 miles over 13 years, the Touran has averaged approximately 11,840 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a family vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 2,700 to 3,000 miles covered between annual tests from 2023 through 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which explains the accelerated wear on mechanical components like bushes and shock absorbers noted in the history. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the rear suspension alignment, as the record repeatedly flagged uneven inner tyre wear in 2024 and again in 2026. This pattern points to worn wisharm bushes or faulty camber settings that have not been properly rectified. The 2023 report of a perished gearbox mounting bush and corroded coil springs indicates that the underbody components are under significant stress. Furthermore, the noted sub-frame corrosion requires a close-up physical inspection to ensure surface rust has not transitioned into deep structural scaling, which would result in a future MOT failure.
