2008 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · FN08 NWK

The 2008 Volkswagen Touran presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 28 April 2025 at 154,851 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the history shows a recurring pattern of initial test failures immediately followed by passes on the same day and mileage, which suggests administrative or minor rectification issues rather than chronic mechanical decline. The most recent failure on 24 April 2025 at 154,851 miles listed no defects, and the car passed four days later under identical readings. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging around 8,600 miles per year. The record shows 134,036 miles at the April 2023 test, rising to 143,508 by April 2024 and 154,851 by April 2025, equating to roughly 9,000 to 11,000 miles annually with no standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse and clean across the three years presented, with no advisories logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of advisory notes that older Tourans often accrue. The same-day fail-pass cycles at 143,508 miles on 19 April 2024 and at 154,851 miles in April 2025 imply the previous owners addressed whatever halted the test quickly, but the records do not specify components, so verify calipers, coil springs, and tyre tread physically. Given the clean trailing record, the Touran shows no worsening fault trend, yet the undocumented failures warrant scrutiny of service receipts to confirm the owner resolved genuine roadworthiness items rather than exploiting retest leniency.
