2022 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · GL22 LWY

The vehicle has a current MOT as of May 2026, although it initially failed the test due to a deep cut in the nearside rear tyre that reached the ply or cords. There is a recurring pattern of neglect regarding tyre maintenance. In June 2025, the car failed because both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance, where essential consumables are only replaced once they become a legal failure. The mileage is high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,209 miles per year. This level of use indicates the car has been worked hard, which typically results in accelerated wear on the drivetrain, suspension components, and brakes. The overall condition trend appears stable, but the combination of high mileage and a history of tyre-related failures suggests the vehicle has not been meticulously maintained. A buyer should first inspect the current tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres to ensure they are not near the legal limit. Given the high mileage, a detailed inspection of the brake pads and suspension bushings for premature wear is also strongly recommended.
