2014 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · DP14 UNR

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in November 2025, but this test marked a shift in the car's maintenance trend. After four consecutive years of clean passes with no recorded defects, the latest inspection identified wear on both the nearside and offside front inner suspension arm pins or bushes. While these issues did not result in excessive movement and therefore passed the test, they indicate that the front suspension is beginning to degrade. The condition trend is moving from a stable, defect-free state toward a period of necessary component replacement. The mileage of 122,097 miles is typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle. This suggests a consistent pattern of use, meaning that wear on consumables, brakes, and drivetrain components is likely to be proportional to its age rather than the result of extreme hard use or detrimental periods of standing. Given the recent advisories, the most important check for a buyer is a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension components to determine if the wear has progressed since November 2025.
