2013 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · LR63 BWW

Most recent MOT (2022‑09‑15) The car passed its latest MOT at 92,277 mi with no recorded defects. This is the most reassuring data point in the record, showing that at the time of testing the vehicle met all safety and emissions requirements. Recurring mechanical pattern Two areas have appeared more than once: Rear brake pads – In the 2021 MOT the rear pads were noted as “wearing thin”. No comment was made in the 2022 test, suggesting the pads were either replaced or have not yet reached a critical level. Brake pad wear is a normal consumable item, but the repeat mention highlights the rear brakes as a part that may need monitoring. Tyre nail issues – A nail was found in the nearside rear tyre in 2018 (also leaking) and an off‑side rear nail was recorded in 2020. Both incidents were isolated and have not re‑appeared in later tests, implying the problems were remedied. Nevertheless, they flag the need to check tyre condition and ensure no slow leaks remain. A minor note about the front wiper blades (worn in 2018) and the under‑tray fitting (2019) does not affect MOT pass/fail status but may conceal underside components that could be prone to corrosion. Trend analysis Overall the MOT history is clean apart from the two consumable‑type items above.
