2016 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · OU16 OSP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather rather than proactive replacement. The most recent test in February 2025 at 64,131 miles passed despite an advisory on a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. While the car has passed five consecutive tests, the recurring nature of brake component and suspension wear suggests that the previous owners only addressed mechanical issues once they reached a point of failure or significant advisory status. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 18,317 miles between the May 2023 test at 42,014 miles and the February 2025 test at 64,131 miles, indicating a recent increase in usage compared to earlier years. This surge in mileage often accelerates the wear on rubber-based components and braking surfaces, which is evidenced by the degradation of suspension bushes and tyres noted in the later records. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes have been flagged for wear and splitting in both 2023 and 2024, indicating a persistent failure to replace these components. Furthermore, the braking system requires a thorough check. The record shows consistently pitted and scored brake discs across both front and rear axles since at least 2021. You should verify the thickness of the remaining pads and the surface condition of the rotors, as the history suggests the brakes are frequently operated near the end of their functional life.
