2015 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · MW65 DYN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of deferred consumable replacements. The most recent test in December 2025 at 92,978 miles resulted in a pass despite two advisories for both rear tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This mirrors a failure seen in December 2022 where the vehicle initially failed due to a worn offside rear tyre before passing on retest. The mileage progression is consistent with an eleven-year-old heavy-SUV, averaging approximately 8,450 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 11,000 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 12,900-mile interval between January 2024 and December 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the tyre neglect indicates reactive maintenance between MOT intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment, as the repeated reports of edge wear on the rear tyres across multiple years suggest potential worn suspension bushes or a persistent misalignment issue. The buyer should also check the braking system for uneven wear or caliper binding, given the history of neglected attention to basic rubber components. While the record shows no structural corrosion or major mechanical failures, the primary focus should remain on the condition of the heavy-duty components and the remaining life on the tyres which are due for replacement.
