2018 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · GV68 EVH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a period of minor mechanical instability. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 18,970 miles returned a pass with only an advisory regarding a cut on a tyre. This represents an improvement over the November 2023 failure where the engine malfunction indicator light and a headlamp cleaning device failed, both of which appear to have been rectified in subsequent tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,371 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, moving from 11,487 miles in late 2022 to 17,213 miles by late 2024. While this low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between services and tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or surface corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the tyres, as the record shows recurring cuts on the nearside rear tyre between 2023 and 2025. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for flat spots on the tyres and ensure the brake calipers have not seized due to lack of use. The buyer should also verify the LED headlamp cleaning mechanism and the engine management system to ensure the previous failures from 2023 remain fully resolved and are not indicative of intermittent electrical faults.
