2004 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · FA04 UWM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The last test conducted on August 7, 2023, at 165,461 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum legal standards at that time. While the record shows immediate failures prior to passing in both 2022 and 2023, the subsequent passes suggest the owner addressed any identified faults promptly to maintain the vehicle's legality. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 152,586 miles and August 2023 at 165,461 miles, the Touran covered 12,875 miles over nearly two years. This reflects regular moderate use rather than long periods of stagnation or neglect. However, given the current date of June 2026, the MOT is now nearly three years out of date, which significantly increases the risk regarding the current state of mechanical and safety-critical components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are common failure points for Volkswagen Tourans of this age. Check for corrosion on the sills, subframes, and brake mounting points, which often deteriorate over decades regardless of mileage. Since the last recorded test is outdated, it is also vital to inspect the brake discs for heavy pitting and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs which may have perished since the 2023 test.
