2017 Volkswagen Touran 1.4L Petrol · LK66 FVL

A single recorded defect – a missing fuel‑cap sealing device – is the only blemish on an otherwise clean MOT history, with four passes and one isolated failure over the last five years, the latest test on 10 November 2025 confirming a pass with no further issues noted. The isolated 29 October 2024 failure was remedied promptly, as evidenced by the subsequent pass on the same date, indicating that the vehicle’s core systems have remained compliant with statutory safety and emissions standards. At 55,945 miles recorded in 2026, the Touran averages roughly 6,200 miles per year, a mileage profile that sits comfortably within the typical range for a nine‑year‑old family MPV. The annual testing cadence shows no significant gaps, suggesting the odometer reading reflects consistent usage rather than long periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this moderate accumulation points to wear levels that are predictable for the age of the vehicle, with consumables such as brake pads, tyres and suspension components likely approaching mid‑life service intervals. Prospective buyers should verify that the fuel‑cap sealing device is now correctly fitted and that the cap seals tightly, checking for any fuel odour around the filler neck and confirming that the evaporative‑emission system does not trigger a fault on a diagnostic scan. While the MOT record shows no brake or suspension advisories, it is prudent to test the brakes for any pedal pulsation, uneven feel or excessive noise, and to listen for clunks or knocks over bumps that could indicate wear in the front suspension bushes or rear trailing arms, which are common wear points on high‑floor MPVs of this age. A final practical step is to confirm that the vehicle’s timing chain or belt (as specified by the engine type) is within its service interval, and to inspect the under‑body for any emerging corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and rear subframe, which can develop silently over years of use. Ensuring that tyre tread depth meets the legal minimum and that tyre wear is even will also help maintain the Touran’s road‑holding characteristics and reduce the likelihood of a future MOT failure.
