2012 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · CX62 TLK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the latest test only flagged an advisory regarding an offside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit. Prior to this, the car maintained several years with no recorded defects, suggesting that the vehicle has generally been well-kept in terms of essential safety requirements. The mileage pattern is relatively low for a fourteen-year-old Touran, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year. There is a notable period of lower usage between 2021 and 2022, where the car covered only 4,613 miles, followed by a more consistent annual increase since then. While low total mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals that are not frequently stressed by longer drives. A prospective buyer should perform a close inspection of the braking system, as records from 2022 indicated thin pads on both rear axles. While these were likely addressed, the presence of a central front oil leak noted in that same period should be verified to ensure it has not worsened or affected surrounding rubber hoses. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, checking the condition of suspension bushes and tyre age is also advisable, as these components can perish over time irrespective of the distance driven.
