2017 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · FD67 XGR

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-18 confirmed the vehicle passed with two tyre-related issues: front and rear inner tyres worn close to the legal limit, both showing edge wear. This mirrors earlier findings, indicating a persistent pattern of uneven tyre wear. The 2025-04-14 MOT also noted similar tyre wear, alongside a failed Check Engine Light (MIL) indicator, which was later resolved as the 2026 MOT showed no such failure. Recurring tyre wear suggests potential underlying issues such as misalignment, suspension wear, or inconsistent driving habits. The 2024-04-22 MOT identified slight play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, which could contribute to uneven tyre contact. While the 2023-04-21 MOT only flagged a front tyre issue, the pattern of repeated tyre wear across multiple years implies a systemic problem requiring investigation. The trend shows no clear worsening, but the persistence of tyre and suspension-related defects over five years raises concerns. The vehicle’s high mileage—112,228 miles at 9 years old—averages 12,470 miles annually, which is above average for its age. This could indicate frequent use, accelerating wear on tyres, brakes, and suspension components. However, the absence of major failures in recent MOTs suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard.
