2011 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · FT11 XRH

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-25 recorded a single defect: the offside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit. This indicates a safety risk, as tyres near the minimum tread depth compromise grip and stopping distance. No other defects were noted in this test, and the vehicle passed. A recurring pattern of minor mechanical issues emerges in earlier MOTs. Shock absorbers showed light oil misting in 2022 and 2023, which could signal gradual fluid leakage or seal wear. The rear sub-frame had corrosion in 2023, though it was not classified as serious. Brake discs were worn or scored in 2022, and the undertray was loose. These issues suggest potential wear in suspension, braking, and body components, but none were critical at the time of testing. The trend of defects appears stable rather than worsening. While some components (e.g., shocks, brakes) had repeated concerns, no new or escalating issues were recorded in the latest MOT.
