Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Prioritise a professional mechanical inspection, specifically focusing on the braking system and suspension. The recent MOT history shows multiple advisories regarding worn suspension arm bushes and tyres, as well as previous failures involving brake pipe corrosion and imbalanced braking. You should negotiate the price downwards to account for the immediate need for tyre replacements and potential suspension work.
Crucially, verify that the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) warning lamp functions correctly. The 2025 records indicate failures regarding the SRS lamp not illuminating and seat belt webbing being damaged or frayed. Ensure all seat belts, including those in the boot area, are intact and meet safety standards, as this has been a repeated issue for this specific vehicle.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Touran will likely fall into a moderate insurance group and tax band typical for its era. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but the 1968cc engine is designed for long-distance efficiency.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the age of the vehicle and the recent trend of MOT advisories for tyres, brakes, and suspension components. Expect to budget for regular consumables like brake discs, pads, and tyres, alongside potential repairs to the CV boots and suspension bushes noted in the 2026 record.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly; the history shows a pattern of imbalanced brakes, fluctuating service brakes, and corroded brake pipes. Check the condition of the brake pipes themselves to ensure any previous corrosion has been addressed rather than just covered in grease.
Examine the suspension and drivetrain. The 2026 MOT recorded worn suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside fronts, and a severely deteriorated nearside front drive shaft CV boot. Additionally, check the tyres; the most recent test noted multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit. Finally, test all seat belts for fraying or cuts, particularly the rear boot belt, as this has appeared in multiple MOT records since 2024.
This 2004 Volkswagen Touran has covered 146,325 miles since its first registration in September 2004. While the mileage is relatively consistent with its age, the MOT history reveals frequent failures and advisories related to braking systems, seat belt integrity, and suspension components. The vehicle has undergone several tests resulting in failures, most notably in 2024 and 2025, indicating a need for thorough mechanical scrutiny.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures occurring in tyres, brake pads, and headlamps.
