2012 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · LS12 DXV

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, following its most recent MOT test on March 24, 2026, at 84,343 miles where it passed with no defects recorded. While the history shows a pattern of immediate repairs following failures, the two consecutive clean results indicate that any previous mechanical or safety issues were successfully rectified. The trend suggests the current or previous owner is proactive in addressing identified faults to ensure the vehicle remains road-legal. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use family vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 5,996 miles, and it added another 5,190 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the age of the vehicle still increases the likelihood of rubber-based component degradation and oxidised hardware regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in March 2024 and 2025, as the record does not list the specific reasons for those declines. Given the vehicle's age, a close look at the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm joints is essential, as these are common points of failure on the Touran. Additionally, check for binding calipers or corrosion on the brake discs, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from seizing and surface pitting when not used frequently.
