2015 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · LC64 OTK

The 2015 Volkswagen Touareg presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 15 September 2025 at 102,419 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean result followed a same-day failure on 15 September 2025 at 102,410 miles, where the tester flagged an anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicating an ABS fault. The nine-mile gap between the failure and the pass strongly suggests the ABS issue was diagnosed and rectified immediately before the retest. This pattern indicates a responsible ownership approach, with defects addressed promptly rather than deferred. The vehicle has covered roughly 9,311 miles per year since new, which is typical for its age and consistent with regular daily use rather than prolonged standing or extreme motorway accumulation. Mileage progression is steady and unbroken, climbing from 79,098 miles on 10 May 2022 to 82,356 miles on 28 July 2023, then to 94,078 miles on 24 September 2024, and finally to 102,419 miles by September 2025. No suspicious gaps or sudden spikes appear in the record, supporting the conclusion that this vehicle has been driven consistently and maintained on an annual cycle aligned with its MOT schedule. The 2024 test on 24 September 2024 at 94,078 miles recorded a minor advisory for front brake discs worn but not excessively. Combined with the 2025 ABS lamp fault, braking system components warrant close physical inspection. A buyer should examine the front brake discs and pads for uneven wear, check the rear calipers for binding, and verify the ABS sensor wiring and reluctor rings for damage or corrosion. The 2023 test on 28 July 2023 at 82,356 miles noted a windscreen chip outside the driver's critical view area, which should be recracked for current condition. Given the vehicle's age and 102,419 miles, a thorough underbody inspection for structural corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, subframes, and inner wing seams, is advisable. Suspension bushes and coil springs should also be checked, as heavy SUV use over mixed surfaces accelerates wear on these components.
