Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Focus your attention on the suspension and drivetrain. The May 2026 MOT failure specifically mentioned play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, and the repeated advisories for CV boots suggest potential deferred maintenance. You should verify whether these components were replaced or merely monitored.
Check the service records for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical maintenance items for this engine. Given the age of the vehicle, ensure that any previous MOT advisories, particularly those regarding worn brake discs from 2025, have been addressed with fresh parts rather than temporary fixes.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides a simpler mechanical setup than the diesel variants but will result in higher fuel expenditure. Tax and insurance for a 2008 Touran are typically moderate, though costs will vary based on the driver's profile and annual mileage.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher for this specific vehicle due to its age and the wear noted in recent MOTs. Budget for upcoming suspension work and brake replacements to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Carefully inspect the front suspension and the CV boots on the drive shafts, as these were flagged as 'severely deteriorated' in both 2023 and 2024. Check for any current leaks or tears in the rubber boots that could lead to joint failure.
Examine the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, following the advisories recorded in May 2025. Additionally, ensure all exterior lighting is functioning correctly, as a faulty offside rear indicator caused a failure in May 2026.
This 2008 grey Volkswagen Touran 1.6 petrol has recorded 118,916 miles. The MOT history shows a generally consistent testing pattern, though it failed in May 2026 due to a faulty indicator and suspension play. Notably, the vehicle had repeated advisories for deteriorated CV boots and anti-roll bar linkage covers across 2023 and 2024.
The Touran has an average MOT pass rate of 78.7%, with the most common failure points being tyres, brake pads, and headlamps.
