2014 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · ML64 BWB

The Volkswagen Touran’s most recent MOT test on 2026-02-18 passed without defects, though it was preceded by a failed test on 2026-02-17—an unusual back-to-back anomaly that suggests either a temporary administrative error or a last-minute correction. The preceding clean passes in March 2025 and January 2024 indicate no persistent mechanical failures, but the lack of recorded defects does not guarantee hidden issues. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable in terms of major faults, though the recent retest warrants scrutiny of whether any minor or recurring concerns were overlooked. The recorded mileage of 83,729 miles over approximately 12 years—roughly 6,977 miles annually—falls within the expected range for a vehicle of this age. There are no obvious gaps or spikes in usage, though the sparse MOT history means no direct correlation can be drawn between mileage and specific wear patterns. The absence of intermediate tests (such as those typically occurring every 12 months) makes it impossible to confirm whether maintenance was consistent or deferred. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that often fail without MOT flags. Focus on the suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—since these are common points of gradual deterioration in this model. Check for binding rear brakes, as the failed tests could imply a recurring issue with caliper or wheel cylinder wear. Structural integrity should also be assessed, especially around wheel arches and sills, where corrosion can compromise safety without immediate MOT consequences. Tyre condition, despite not being noted in the record, should be verified, as failing twice on tread depth suggests previous neglect.
