2012 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · FJ11 SHA

The Volkswagen Touran presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 February 2026 at 151,412 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The February 2026 test shows an anomalous fail on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass, which suggests an administrative or procedural error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared every annual test from February 2023 through February 2025 with no advisories or defects recorded. Mileage has accumulated at a broadly typical rate for a 2012 vehicle, rising from 128,594 miles in February 2023 to 151,412 miles by February 2026, an average of roughly 7,600 miles per year across that span against a lifetime mean near 10,800. The records show no sudden jumps or dormant periods; the three-year trail from 2023 to 2026 is clean and consistent. Given the sparse defect data, the history implies a previous owner who kept the car to a basic pass-standard regime without neglected consumables surfacing at test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as high-mileage Tourans of this generation commonly develop fatigue in those areas between tests. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the DVSA record is favourable, but 14 years of age leaves scope for underbody rust not captured by a clean MOT. Verify the February 2026 fail-pass anomaly with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect entry exists before purchase.
