2010 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · D2 ORM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean pass on August 7, 2025 at 163,795 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of instability. While the vehicle failed two of its previous three tests, the most recent consecutive inspections recorded no defects or advisories, suggesting that the current owner is proactive in addressing and rectifying mechanical issues identified by the testing centre. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,237 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the vehicle covered 9,041 miles, while it clocked another 9,012 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This regular usage indicates the car has been driven frequently rather than sitting stationary, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and brake-related issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus on the specific nature of the failures recorded in August 2023 and August 2024. Although the provided record does not list the specific reason codes for those failures, the pattern of failing and then passing shortly after suggests issues related to wear-limit components or items that required immediate adjustment. Given the high mileage and age of this Touareg, a physical inspection must prioritise the condition of the suspension bushings, the state of the brake discs, and the structural integrity of the chassis to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing between the clean MOT results.
