2011 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · FR11 UWM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful test on 15 December 2025 at 128,259 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the car has cleared its annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories for three consecutive years. While the record shows a failed test occurring on the same day as the pass in both 2024 and 2025, the absence of specific defect descriptions suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor rectifications performed on-site rather than systemic mechanical failures. Accumulating 128,259 miles over a fifteen-year lifespan results in an average of approximately 8,551 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The mileage progression remains consistent, showing an increase of roughly 12,000 miles between December 2023 and December 2024, followed by a slightly lower increase of 8,705 miles leading into the most recent test. This steady usage suggests the Touran has been kept in regular operation rather than suffering from the long-term inactivity that often causes seized calipers or perished rubber components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the underlying condition of the suspension and braking systems, as the clean MOT history does not account for normal wear on consumable parts that may have been replaced outside of the testing cycle. Check the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes for signs of fatigue or perishing, as these are common wear items on the Touran platform that might not trigger a failure until they are significantly degraded. Inspect the brake discs for excessive pitting or lip formation, ensuring that the pedal feel remains firm and responsive during a test drive. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough visual check for structural corrosion on the subframes and sills remains a prudent step, regardless of the clear testing record.
