Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation. While the veh
Prioritise the issues flagged in the October 2025 MOT. The 'severely deteriorated' nearside front CV boot is a critical item; if not replaced, it can lead to premature failure of the drive shaft. You should also negotiate the price based on the worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside front, as these will affect handling and tyre wear.
Check the service history specifically for the timing belt and water pump intervals, as these are vital for the 1.9L diesel engine. Ensure that the recurring corrosion on the rear coil springs, noted in 2022 and 2023, has been addressed or assess the remaining metal integrity during a physical inspection.
The 1.9L diesel engine is known for decent fuel economy, though as a 2009 model, its road tax will be higher than newer, lower-emission equivalents. Insurance groups for the Touran are typically mid-range, reflecting its role as a practical family MPV.
Annual maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average in the short term. Given the MOT advisories for brake discs, suspension bushes, and CV boots, the buyer should budget for several immediate repairs alongside standard annual servicing.
Focus your inspection on the front end of the vehicle. Specifically, check the nearside front CV boot for tears and the front lower suspension arm bushes for excessive play, as both were flagged in the 2025 test. Inspect the front brake discs for thinning, as noted in the 2024 MOT.
At the rear, examine the coil springs for the corrosion mentioned in the 2022 and 2023 records and check the condition of the rear shock dust covers. Finally, check the nearside front tyre tread, which was recorded as being close to the legal limit in 2023, to ensure it has since been replaced.
This silver 2009 Volkswagen Touran has covered 118,831 miles, which is below the model average for its age. Although it has passed its last five MOT tests, the records show an increasing number of advisories related to suspension and drivetrain wear. It offers a functional package, but the current mechanical state suggests imminent maintenance requirements.
The Touran maintains a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 78.7%, with most failures being common wear-and-tear items such as tyres and brake pads.
