2018 Volkswagen Touran 1.4L Petrol · KO18 FWP

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 35,344 miles passed with a single advisory regarding an offside rear tyre showing signs of perishing and cracking. This indicates a minor consumable wear issue rather than a mechanical failure, suggesting that the vehicle has generally been well-maintained for despite the low frequency of use. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,418 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 18,968 miles and July 2025 at 35,344 miles, the Touran covered only 16,376 miles. This low usage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it often leads to the age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and fluids due to long periods of stationary time. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition based on historical data. The July 2022 test at 23,576 miles flagged both thin rear brake pads and pitted rear brake discs. While these were addressed or monitored subsequently, the recurring nature of tyre perishing in 2022 and 2025 suggests the rubber is reaching its shelf life due to age rather than tread wear. A physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls for further cracking and a check of the brake surfaces for surface corrosion is necessary to ensure the low mileage has not caused components to seize.
