2009 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · LR59 XED

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 2 May 2025 at 84,488 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all legal standards. While a single failure occurred in April 2024, the vehicle was rectified and passed a re-test just a month later, and subsequent clean records suggest that the previous owner was proactive in addressing faults once they were identified. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old Touran, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental use, such as the 9,269 miles covered between April 2022 and April 2023, and another 7,565 miles in the following year. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals due to periods of inactivity rather than friction. Given the age of the vehicle despite the low mileage, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and age-related wear. The MOT record does not highlight recurring mechanical failures, but the age of the chassis warrants a close look for corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points. You should inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these can perish over time regardless of the distance driven. Additionally, checking the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers is advisable, as these affect low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
