2017 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · EK17 DOJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-20 at 95,358 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior test on 2025-09-17 at 95,357 miles showed a failure with no recorded defects. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or unreported issues. Subsequent tests from 2023-03-31 to 2024-03-26 show stable performance, with no defects noted. The maintenance trend appears stable overall, though the abrupt failure and pass within three days raises questions about testing accuracy. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s age, averaging ~10,595 miles annually. The gap between the 2024-03-26 test (84,387 miles) and 2025-03-24 test (91,282 miles) reflects a 6,895-mile increase over 12 months, consistent with typical usage. However, the 2025-09-17 and 2025-09-20 tests occurred just three days apart, with minimal mileage change (95,357 to 95,358 miles), indicating possible testing anomalies or the vehicle being stationary during this period. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, suggesting no systemic mechanical or structural issues. Buyers should verify the car’s condition in person, focusing on suspension components, brake systems, and exhaust emissions, as these are common areas for wear in older vehicles. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection, particularly given the unusual testing pattern. Pay close attention to corrosion, especially in areas prone to rust, and ensure all fluid levels and electrical systems function correctly. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears acceptable, but the recent MOT irregularities warrant further scrutiny.
