2004 Volkswagen Touareg 3.2L Petrol · KD04 UCM

This vehicle presents a stable and unusually clean roadworthiness profile for its age. The most recent MOT on 22 April 2025 at 171,664 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean tests dating back to 2022, suggesting the previous owner has maintained the car to a high standard or addressed issues before presenting it for inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a 22 year old vehicle. Between 22 April 2022 and 22 April 2025, the odometer rose from 165,435 to 171,664 miles. This indicates a steady accumulation of roughly 2,000 miles per year over the last three years, which is significantly lower than the lifetime average of 7,803 miles per year. Such a drop in annual usage can sometimes lead to perished rubber seals or battery degradation, though the MOT record shows no resulting failures. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear is rare for a Touareg of this vintage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and sills for structural rust, as MOT testers often overlook minor surface corrosion that does not immediately compromise safety. Check the condition of the air suspension and drivetrain components during a test drive. Given the high total mileage of 171,664, wear on the turbocharger, fuel injectors, and gearbox mounts is expected regardless of a clean MOT history. Verify that the service history supports the lack of MOT defects, as the record shows a failure and immediate pass on 29 April 2024, which suggests a rapid rectification of an unspecified fault.
