2009 Volkswagen Touran 1.9L Diesel · D3 OKB

The 2009 Volkswagen Touran presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 27 August 2025 at 233,125 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in August 2024 at 219,921 miles and September 2023 at 214,542 miles also passed cleanly, showing no escalating fault pattern across the last three years. The recorded mileage of 233,125 against a 17-year lifespan averages roughly 13,700 miles per year, which sits high for a vehicle of this age and points to sustained commuter or fleet-style use rather than intermittent standing. Between the July 2022 test at 194,469 miles and the September 2023 test the odometer climbed 20,073 miles, a typical annual rate; the gap from 2022 to 2024 added 25,452 miles. The MOT history is sparse, with only a single failed entry on 22 July 2022 at 194,469 miles showing no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same day, suggesting an administrative or emission-retest correction rather than a mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high cumulative mileage and the age-related risk of perished rubber components. The clean advisory record across all tests implies previous owners addressed consumables before each examination, yet the absence of flagged corrosion or exhaust condition does not confirm structural integrity beneath sills and subframes. Given the Touran's high mileage and the unexplained same-day fail-pass in July 2022, verify the V5C and service invoices to confirm routine drivetrain maintenance. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the record, but at 233,125 miles expect imminent replacement of timing belt, clutch, and damping components as routine end-of-life wear.
