2004 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Petrol · CW04 SSJ

The Volkswagen Touran presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 August 2025 at 86,356 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally low annual use for a 22-year-old vehicle. From the 10 August 2022 test at 80,020 miles, the car covered just 6,336 miles over the following three years, averaging roughly 2,100 miles per year. The August 2022 entry lists both a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects noted, indicating an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage combined with a 2004 build date means rubber components such as suspension bushes, track rod ends, and door seals may have degraded through age rather than wear. Standing periods accelerate perishing of tyres and brake hose cracking even when the MOT shows no advisories. Corrosion protection on the sills, subframe, and suspension mounting points warrants close examination given the vehicle's age. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt a 22-year-old Touran from age-related structural fatigue, and a pre-purchase check of coil springs, brake disc condition, and exhaust integrity remains prudent.
