2020 Volkswagen Touareg V6 SEL Tech TDI Auto 3.0L Diesel · DO65 ABA

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor, as evidenced by the two consecutive failed MOTs recorded in September 2024, which indicates a persistent mechanical failure trend rather than a temporary anomaly. The most recent successful test was in September 2025, demonstrating that the car is no longer roadworthy for the current year and must be inspected immediately upon arrival. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 8,500 miles annually, which is consistent with an 8-year-old model. This steady accumulation suggests a lack of proactive maintenance, as the vehicle has not been serviced regularly since the previous failed test. The gap between the September 2024 test and the September 2025 test is significant, with only 1,000 miles of mileage lost between them, which is a critical indicator that the vehicle has been used for extended periods without addressing the underlying faults. A buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately after completion of the September 2025 test to address the ongoing structural integrity issues. The history reveals recurring defects in the front and rear tyres, including cracked or perishing tyres and worn outer walls, which require immediate replacement. Additionally, the registration plates do not conform to the specified requirements, which is a critical safety violation. The presence of a nail in the rear tyre is a severe structural risk that must be addressed before the vehicle can be driven again.
