2008 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Petrol · FL58 WRG

The Volkswagen Touran presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 November 2023 at 164,432 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with the only blemishes being two consecutive failed-then-passed tests in 2021 and 2022 where the DVSA logged no specific defects. These paired entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decay, and the vehicle has since cleared two straight clean passes. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging near 9,135 miles per year. The record shows 136,715 miles on 16 November 2021, rising to 149,523 by 17 November 2022, then 164,432 at the final 2023 test, equating to roughly 12,000 to 15,000 miles annually in the logged period. A notable gap exists between the November 2023 pass and today's date of 8 July 2026, leaving the vehicle with no verified test for over thirty months and unknown mileage or condition since. The 2022 failure at 149,444 miles followed by a pass one day later at 149,523 miles, and the identical 2021 pattern, point to no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion faults in the data. The clean advisories across all tests imply previous owners addressed consumables before presentation, though the absence of flagged wear offers no insight into hidden bush degradation or exhaust integrity at this age. A buyer should commission an independent inspection before purchase. Priorities are underbody structural rust, front coil springs, suspension arm bushes, and brake disc thickness given the Touran's mileage and the extended untested period since late 2023. Confirm the actual odometer reading and seek proof of routine servicing, as the MOT record alone cannot evidence drivetrain care over the last two and a half years.
