Our Verdict
A typical high-mileage example that requ
Prioritise a review of the service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical for the 2.9L diesel engine at this mileage. Given the MOT advisories from October 2025 regarding thin front brake pads on both the nearside and offside, you should use this as a negotiation point for a price reduction or request a fresh set of pads before purchase.
Verify that the headlamp levelling and aim issues recorded in 2023 and 2025 have been permanently resolved rather than temporarily adjusted. Ensure all electronic assists common to the Touareg are functioning, as the vehicle's age and mileage increase the likelihood of sensor wear.
Owning a 3.0L diesel SUV involves significant overheads. Fuel economy will be modest given the engine size and vehicle weight, and it will fall into a higher VED (road tax) bracket. Insurance groups for the Touareg are typically high, reflecting its value and repair costs.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the mileage exceeding 120,000. Expect higher expenditures on tyres and braking systems, both of which have appeared as failure points in this vehicle's specific history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are likely to be substantial.
Carefully inspect the braking system; the October 2025 MOT specifically noted that both front brake pads were wearing thin. Check the depth of all four tyres, as rear tyre wear was a cause for failure in October 2023.
Test the headlamp levelling device and check the beam aim, as these were recorded as failures in both 2023 and 2025. Finally, perform a thorough check of the underbody for corrosion, which is a standard precaution for a 2014 vehicle of this mileage in the UK climate.
This grey 2014 Volkswagen Touareg has recorded 120,917 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures and advisories related to brake pads, tyre wear, and headlamp alignment. While it has passed its most recent tests, the records indicate a recurring need for basic consumables replacement.
The Touareg has an average MOT pass rate of 82.6%, with the most common failures being tyres, headlamps, and brake pads, all of which are present in this vehicle's history.
