2012 Volkswagen Touran 1.4L Petrol · KF12 KFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 May 2026. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable over the last three years, the latest inspection indicates a decline in basic consumable upkeep. After two years of clean records in 2024 and 2025, the tester now flagged multiple defects regarding the front tyres, suggesting that routine preventative maintenance has recently been neglected. At 53,948 miles, this Touran reflects exceptionally low mileage for its fourteen years, averaging approximately 3,853 miles per annum. The data shows a significant period of inactivity between May 2024 (49,837 miles) and May 2025 (50,245 miles), where only 400 miles were covered in a full year. Such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than wear, which aligns with the perishing and cracking noted in the May 2026 test results. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and tyre geometry. The 2026 record noted perishing and cracking on both nearside and offside front tyres, alongside uneven wear on the inner edges. This pattern often indicates a misalignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have accelerated tyre degradation. Given the low-mileage history, the inspector should also check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, as these are common failure points for vehicles that sit stationary for long periods without regular use.
