2004 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Petrol · KP04 APV

The 10 June 2025 MOT at 124,469 miles resulted in a pass, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the repeated corrosion of the rear sub‑frame, rear suspension components and persistent oil leak indicate a stable but concerning maintenance pattern rather than improvement. Mileage has risen from 66,109 miles in April 2013 to 124,469 miles in June 2025, averaging about 5,658 miles per year; the increase was steady between 2013 and 2022, with only a modest 511‑mile rise in the three years since the 2022 test, suggesting the vehicle has been driven lightly in recent years while earlier periods showed normal usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear sub‑frame welds for weakened sections, examine the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion, verify that the rear brakes are not binding, check tyre tread depth especially on the near‑side rear tyre, assess the condition of the exhaust mounting and any repairs to the integral body structure, and look for signs of structural deformation despite the recorded rigidity.
