Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. While the
The primary concern is the gap in MOT history from February 2022 to August 2026. You must determine if the vehicle has been SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) or simply neglected, as long-term inactivity can lead to perished tyres, seized brakes, and battery failure. Ensure you see a valid MOT certificate before completing the purchase.
Given the age of this 2.0L petrol variant, request a full service history to see if the cambelt and water pump have been replaced according to Volkswagen's intervals. Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for a comprehensive mechanical inspection and a new MOT test.
As an older 2.0L petrol engine, fuel economy will be lower than modern equivalents, and it will likely fall into a higher VED tax band. Insurance costs will vary based on the driver, but the Touran generally sits in a mid-range insurance group for family MPVs.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age are typically higher due to the wear of rubber components and gaskets. Budget for the replacement of consumables like brake pads and tyres, which are noted as the most common failure points for this model across aggregate data.
Focus on the issues identified in the February 2022 MOT failure. Check the front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers on both the nearside and offside, as these were previously failed. Inspect the exhaust system for the minor leak that was recorded as both a failure and an advisory in 2022.
Check the headlamp aim, specifically the offside lamp, which previously required adjustment. Because the car has likely been stationary for some time, inspect the tyres for flat spots or cracking and check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion.
This blue 2005 Volkswagen Touran features a 1968cc petrol engine and had a recorded mileage of 91,324 miles during its last MOT in 2022. This is considerably lower than the average mileage for this model's age. However, the vehicle has not been presented for an MOT test in over four years, making its current roadworthiness unknown.
The Touran has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 78.7% across nearly 90,000 vehicles, with the most frequent failures being tyres, brake pads, and headlamps.
