2013 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · FV63 OMH

The 2025-11-07 MOT at 68,563 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. Earlier in 2025 the vehicle failed on 2025-11-06 at 68,560 miles due to a corroded offside front upper coil spring and fractured near and offside rear coil springs, but the subsequent test shows the faults have been remedied. This indicates a recent improvement in maintenance rather than a worsening trend. The mileage progression from 2016 at 20,119 miles to 2025 at 68,563 miles reflects an average annual increase of roughly 5,200 miles, consistent with light to moderate use for a 13‑year‑old Touran. The interval between the 2024‑11‑27 test at 62,775 miles and the 2025‑11‑06 failure shows an accumulation of 5,785 miles in just over ten months, suggesting normal driving rather than long periods of inactivity. No extended gaps appear in the annual record. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, verifying that the coil springs are sound, free of rust and securely mounted, and that the spring seats and chassis rails show no structural corrosion. The brake assembly warrants close inspection for disc pitting, pad thickness, and caliper binding, especially given the rear disc wear noted in 2024 and the front pad wear in 2022. Tyre wear patterns and any previous advisories should also be examined to ensure all remedial work has been completed before purchase.
