2008 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · LL08 RCV

The Volkswagen Touran presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 25 March 2025 at 98,740 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes and two administrative-style failures logged without any recorded defects. The most recent failure on 25 March 2025 at identical mileage to the same-day pass suggests a documentation or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 98,740 against an 18-year-old vehicle equates to roughly 5,486 miles per year, which is low for the age. The gap between the 3 January 2025 pass at 97,691 miles and the 30 December 2023 pass at 95,107 miles shows only 2,584 miles covered in that 12-month period. Prior to that, the 28 December 2023 failure at 95,104 miles was followed two days later by a pass at 95,107 miles, indicating minimal use between tests. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected consumable wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile, as standing periods can accelerate corrosion and seizing of calipers not captured in a defect-free MOT. The twin 2023 and 2025 failure entries with no defects logged warrant confirmation that these were procedural rather than concealed mechanical rejects. Given the absence of advisories across all five tests, previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the low mileage means age-related degradation of rubber components and exhaust emissions hardware remains a physical risk unseen by the DVSA record.
