2014 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · NV64 TFN

The 2014 Volkswagen Touareg presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 16 December 2025 at 72,104 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is no anomaly. The vehicle has passed five consecutive annual MOTs without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent mechanical care and no emerging faults across braking, suspension, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. For a twelve-year-old SUV, this is an unusually strong record. The mileage accumulation is remarkably steady and typical for the vehicle's age. Between the December 2021 test at 56,716 miles and the December 2025 test at 72,104 miles, the Touareg covered 15,388 miles over four years, averaging just under 3,850 miles annually during that window. Earlier years show slightly higher use, with the car reaching 56,716 miles by late 2021 from its 2014 registration. The total of 72,104 miles over roughly twelve years works out to approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is unremarkable and consistent with regular daily use rather than prolonged standing or extreme mileage. No gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record are present. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still inspect the underside in person. The Touareg's air suspension system, where fitted, is known for gradual degradation of air struts and compressor relays that may not trigger an MOT failure until a fault becomes severe. Check for uneven ride height on cold start and listen for the compressor running excessively. Examine the condition of front and rear suspension bushes, drop links, and anti-roll bar links, as these deteriorate with age regardless of mileage and can cause clunking or vague steering well before they attract an advisory. The braking system also warrants a close look. The Touareg is a heavy vehicle, and while the discs and pads have clearly remained within MOT tolerances, look for uneven disc wear, lipping at the edges, or binding rear calipers that can develop between tests. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing given the vehicle's age, even if tread depths remain legal. Finally, check the exhaust system for early-stage corrosion, particularly around flexible joints and the rear silencer, as these are common failure points on higher-mileage Volkswagen Group SUVs of this era.
