2010 Volkswagen Touran 1.9L Diesel · FH10 DLV

The Volkswagen Touran passed its most recent MOT on 22 June 2024 at 198,172 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy at the time of test. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every passing year showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. The record shows a failed test on the same date in both 2022 and 2024 at identical mileages, yet no defects were listed on either failure, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The odometer climbed from 163,724 miles at the June 2022 test to 182,947 miles by July 2023, then to 198,172 miles by June 2024. That averages roughly 12,400 miles per year across the span, consistent with the vehicle's 16-year life and high overall use. No long dormant periods or sudden accumulation spikes appear in the data; the annual increments stay even. The sparse record gives little insight into consumable turnover, though the absence of any flagged tyre, brake, or suspension wear suggests either light inspection scrutiny or genuine condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the Touran's age and 198,172 miles. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of corrosion or structural integrity loss, but high-mileage VW diesel chassis commonly develop subframe rust unseen by the annual test. Verify the actual reason for the two same-day failures, as the missing defect text leaves a gap in the vehicle's true compliance story. Check the exhaust emissions and binding calipers during a road test, since the record cannot confirm these were scrutinised. The previous owner kept the car tested yearly with no advisories, implying basic upkeep, yet the duplicated failure entries warrant a request for the full DVSA test certificates before purchase.
