2012 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · MM12 AEZ

The Volkswagen Touran presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 24 July 2025 at 96,798 miles, some eleven months before the current date of 21 July 2026, passed with no defects recorded. Prior examinations in October 2024, April 2024 and July 2023 also returned passes with clean sheets. The anomalous failure logged on 10 July 2023 at 95,868 miles carried no defect entries and was superseded by a pass the next day at identical mileage, indicating a clerical error rather than mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation has been exceptionally low for a 2012 vehicle. From the July 2023 reading of 95,868 miles to the July 2025 reading of 96,798 miles the odometer advanced only 930 miles across two years. The April 2024 test at 95,986 miles and October 2024 test at 95,994 miles show just 126 miles covered in that interval. Such sparse use implies long storage periods, a ownership pattern that often masks skipped lubrication and infrequent checks despite the unblemished MOT history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of components that static records may not expose. The tester flagged no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or structural corrosion, yet a fourteen year old car with prolonged dormancy risks perished rubber mounts, binding calipers and surface rust on chassis legs. Verify exhaust emissions integrity and assess consumable items like tyres and wiper blades for cracking through disuse.
