2017 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · KS17 ENX

This Touareg passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 55,767 miles, but came away with a notable cluster of wear advisories. Both front and rear brake pads are wearing thin, the front brake disc is worn though not excessively, and three of the four tyres are worn close to the legal 1.6mm limit. These are not failures, but they are a clear signal that the vehicle is approaching a service point and will need brake work and new tyres soon. The mileage pattern is telling. At roughly 6,196 miles per year over nine years, this Touareg has been used lightly and fairly consistently. That is typical for its age and does not suggest heavy abuse. However, the recent acceleration in wear advisories—particularly the tyres and brake pads—suggests the vehicle may not have been maintained as closely as it should have been over the past year or so. Looking back at the history, the picture becomes clearer. In September 2022 at 36,398 miles, the MOT noted a worn and pitted front inner brake disc alongside two tyres worn close to the limit. For the next two years, the vehicle passed without comment, but now in 2026 the brake pads themselves are thin and the tyres are borderline again.
