2011 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · DA55 BOO

The 2011 Volkswagen Touran presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 March 2026 at 123,405 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 18 February 2025 at 117,127 miles. The record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the five-year span reviewed, indicating the vehicle has not exhibited worsening condition or recurring defects under official inspection. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical use for a 15-year-old vehicle. The Touran covered 104,511 miles at the 15 February 2023 test, 110,863 miles by 16 February 2024, and 117,127 miles by 18 February 2025, equating to roughly 6,300 to 6,600 miles per year. A minor anomaly appears on 17 February 2025 when the car failed at 117,113 miles with no defects listed, then passed one day later at 117,127 miles; this suggests an administrative or presentational failure rather than a mechanical fault, and the owner corrected it without recorded repair work. Given the absence of flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the MOT history alone implies reasonable upkeep by prior owners. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and steering components, as clean MOT sheets do not capture incipient rust or worn bushes below test thresholds. Pre-purchase checks ought to confirm genuine service history and verify the 14-mile gap between the February 2025 fail and pass reflects no concealed defect. The clean record supports confidence, but high-mileage Tourans of this era warrant scrutiny of dual-mass flywheel and turbocharger condition, items outside MOT scope.
