2010 Volkswagen Touran 1.9L Diesel · LS10 JZN

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-12 recorded a passed result with one defect: front suspension arm pin or bush worn, both sides rear bush. This indicates ongoing wear in suspension components, though no immediate safety risk was flagged. The defect aligns with earlier issues involving suspension corrosion and wear, suggesting a recurring pattern. A significant failure in 2023-09-08 revealed multiple concerns: corroded rear suspension arms (both sides), a windscreen washer defect, and an inoperative registration plate lamp. While subsequent MOTs passed, the 2022-09-10 test noted a corroded rear subframe and a similar lamp issue. These recurring suspension and corrosion problems, coupled with the 2025 defect, highlight a consistent risk of structural or functional degradation in critical areas. The trend shows mixed results. A major failure in 2023-09-08 was followed by two consecutive passed MOTs, but the 2025 defect suggests the underlying issues persist. Suspension and corrosion problems have not been fully resolved, and the lack of major repairs in the history raises concerns about long-term reliability. The vehicle’s condition appears stable overall but with unresolved mechanical vulnerabilities.
