2014 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · GV64 ELX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 107,174 miles identified only a severely deteriorated offside front outer drive shaft CV boot, this issue is a recurring fault previously noted in April 2023 at 78,520 miles. This suggests the component was not replaced during the previous interval or has suffered major failure. Despite a significant failure in 2024, the vehicle has passed its last two tests without further recorded defects. The mileage profile is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There was a notable period of use involving 13,000 miles between April 2023 and March 2024, followed by roughly 15,000 miles between March 2024 and March 2026. This steady accumulation explains the wear seen on suspension components and tyres. The lack of long gaps in testing indicates the car is used regularly, which is generally positive for preventing corrosion-related issues. A buyer must scrutinize the front suspension geometry closely. The 2024 failure at 91,527 miles highlighted heavily worn rear bushes on both front suspension arms and a failed anti-roll bar linkage. While these were reportedly rectified, a physical inspection should check for play in the steering components or remaining rubber degradation. The 2024 test also flagged an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and emission issues; although the car passed subsequent tests, the buyer should verify that the engine management system is functioning correctly and that no hidden fault codes remain present.
