2012 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · FR12 VPC

This Volkswagen Touran presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 16 July 2025 at 132,966 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 15 July 2025 and 8 July 2024, the lack of recorded defects on those failure certificates suggests these may have been administrative errors or minor issues rectified immediately on site. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It has covered roughly 9,498 miles per year over its 14-year lifespan. Between 4 July 2023 and 16 July 2025, the odometer rose from 105,203 to 132,966 miles. This indicates a steady usage pattern of approximately 13,800 miles per year over the last two years, which is a slight increase but remains within typical operational parameters for a family MPV. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across multiple tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should verify the service history to ensure that critical maintenance, such as timing belt intervals and fluid changes, has been performed. The MOT record alone does not confirm these internal mechanical updates. A physical inspection should focus on common wear points that often escape MOT scrutiny if they are not yet critical. Check the condition of the coil springs and the operation of the sliding doors. Inspect the underside for surface rust on the chassis and check for any oil leaks from the engine or gearbox. Given the clean MOT history, these areas are the most likely sources of future maintenance costs.
