2009 Volkswagen Touran 1.9L Diesel · FG09 YDC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a remarkably clean inspection history. The most recent test conducted on 15 January 2026 at 125,661 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This consecutive clean sheet across the last five annual tests suggests that the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle, ensuring that mechanical and safety components remain within legal tolerances without reaching a point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 86,940 miles and the 2026 test at 125,661 miles, the car covered nearly 39,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable use. The slight gap between the November 2022 and January 2024 tests shows a minor lapse in scheduling, but the lack of advisories during these periods suggests the vehicle did not suffer from neglect during those intervals. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a buyer must still account for age-related wear inherent to a 17-year-old Volkswagen. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches, as corrosion often develops undetected between MOT tests until it becomes significant. Given the mileage, the rubber components in the suspension, specifically bushes and bushings, should be checked for cracking or tearing, as these are often the first to degrade on a vehicle of this vintage.
