Our Verdict
Proceed with caution – the vehicle has a
When considering this Touran, verify that the tyre wear noted in the 2025 MOT has been addressed – replacement of front and rear tyres may be required soon. Check that the rear shock absorbers have been serviced or replaced, as oil misting can indicate impending failure. Review any recent service invoices for brake pad replacement, since the MOT recorded thin rear pads in 2024. Negotiating a price reduction to cover impending tyre and suspension work would be prudent.
The diesel engine should be examined for typical 2.0 L TDI issues such as injector and turbo wear, even though the MOT records do not flag engine faults. A full service history, if available, can provide confidence that regular oil changes and filter replacements have been performed. Be aware that older diesel vehicles may face higher road tax and future low‑emission zone restrictions.
Fuel consumption for a 2005 Touran diesel typically ranges between 45–55 mpg, translating to roughly £800–£1,000 per year on fuel at current diesel prices. Road tax for a 1.9 L diesel falls into Band C (£165 per year). Insurance groups for this model are usually in the 20–25 range, costing about £600–£750 annually for a driver with a clean record. Maintenance on a high‑mileage diesel can add £300–£400 per year, especially if tyres, shocks or brake pads need replacement.
Overall, an estimated annual running cost sits between £1,200 and £1,500, covering fuel, tax, insurance and typical wear‑related maintenance.
Inspect all four tyres for tread depth and uneven wear, as the MOT notes front and rear tyres close to the legal limit and edge wear. Confirm that any tyre replacement has been carried out with matching specifications. Examine the rear shock absorbers for oil leakage and signs of reduced damping; replacement may be advisable if the misting persists.
Check the condition of the rear brake pads and discs; thin pads can lead to reduced braking performance and may require immediate replacement. Verify that the brake fluid is at the correct level and has been changed according to service intervals. Finally, assess the engine for any smoke, unusual noises, or excessive exhaust emissions, which can be more common in high‑mileage diesel engines.
The 2005 Volkswagen Touran (blue, 1.9 L diesel) has logged 146,273 miles and passed its last MOT in October 2025, albeit with tyre wear, rear shock oil misting and thin rear brake pads noted. It suffered a single MOT failure in September 2022 for a front tyre tread issue. Compared with the model's average annual mileage, the odometer reading is slightly below the typical total for a vehicle of this age, but the wear points raise moderate concern.
The Touran model has an average MOT pass rate of 78.7%, indicating moderate reliability across the surveyed population.
