2009 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · KM09 DYW

The 2022‑09‑06 MOT at 153,507 miles passed, confirming the Volkswagen Touran remains roadworthy despite recurring minor defects. The repeated wear of the front suspension arm pin and bush, the tyre being worn close to the legal limit, and the presence of pitted brake discs indicate a maintenance trend that is stable but deteriorating, with no evidence of major structural failure in the most recent test. The vehicle’s mileage, averaging about 9,000 miles per year over its 17‑year life, reflects typical usage for its age. However, the jump from 144,050 miles in September 2021 to 153,507 miles in September 2022 shows an acceleration of roughly 9,500 miles in eleven months, while earlier periods such as the 2020‑09‑04 to 2021‑09‑28 interval added more than 12,000 miles, confirming a recent increase in annual mileage. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, examine the front shock absorber for fluid leakage, verify tyre tread depth and edge wear, and assess the condition of the brake discs and pads for pitting, scoring or wear below 1.5 mm, while also checking the constant‑velocity joint boots for splits that could admit dirt. Additional attention to the rear brake discs, which have shown pitting or scoring in multiple tests, and to any signs of structural rust around the wheel arches is advisable, as the history records repeated advisories on these components; the absence of major failures in the latest test does not guarantee long‑term reliability, so a thorough in‑person examination is essential.
