2009 Volkswagen Touran 1.9L Diesel · FN09 UTV

The Volkswagen Touran presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 9 July 2025 at 243,438 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared its test cleanly and shows no advisories or mechanical flags across the available history, indicating the tester found no outstanding roadworthiness concerns at that time. Mileage stands at 243,438 over roughly 17 years, an average of 14,320 miles per year and high for the age. The record jumps from 174,973 miles at the 3 September 2021 test to 219,180 miles by 2 September 2023, a gain of about 44,200 miles in two years, then rises to 243,438 by July 2025. A failed test on 2 September 2023 at 219,180 miles was followed by a pass on 7 September 2023 at 219,200 miles with no defects logged either time, suggesting the failure stemmed from a minor or administrative matter rather than a recorded mechanical fault. The sparse four-entry history limits insight into consumable wear patterns. Given the high accumulated mileage and the vehicle's age, a buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue not captured in the clean MOT entries. The 2023 fail-with-no-defect pattern warrants checking the tester's original refusal reason via DVSA channels to confirm no suppressed advisory existed. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions show no recorded corrosion or excess at the last test, but at 243,438 miles the drivetrain and subframes merit close scrutiny for hidden rust. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the limited record leaves long-term component care unverified.
