Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a large diesel SUV, provided the recent MOT failure is investigated. The vehicle shows a consistent passing record over the last four years.
When inspecting this specific black Touareg, your primary focus should be on the reason for the October 2025 MOT failure. Although the retest was successful the very next day, you should ask the seller for documentation detailing exactly what failed to ensure it wasn't a significant mechanical or safety issue.
Given the vehicle's age and diesel engine, check for a comprehensive service history, particularly regarding timing belts or water pumps if applicable to this 2967cc variant. Since the model aggregate data suggests tyres, headlamps, and brake pads are common failure points, check the remaining tread depth and the clarity of the headlight lenses during your viewing.
As a large 2.9L diesel SUV, running costs will be higher than a standard hatchback. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and load, but expect typical diesel SUV consumption. The engine size places it in a higher insurance group and potentially a more expensive tax bracket.
Maintenance costs for a premium vehicle like the Touareg can be significant, especially for components like brakes and tyres, which are noted as common failure areas for this model type. You should budget for higher-than-average servicing costs to maintain the vehicle's complexity.
Start by investigating the specific cause of the failure recorded on 14 October 2025. Even though it passed a retest within 24 hours, you need to know if it was a minor bulb issue or something more substantial.
Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are statistically the most common reasons for MOT failures across the Touareg model aggregate. Additionally, inspect the headlamps for any signs of condensation or fading, which is a known common failure point for this vehicle type.
This 2009 Volkswagen Touareg features a 2.9L diesel engine and has covered 117,892 miles as of its most recent MOT. While it experienced a single MOT failure in October 2025 at 117,877 miles, it successfully passed the retest the following day. The mileage is slightly higher than the model aggregate average of 8,564 miles per year, but the MOT history shows no recorded defects for several consecutive years prior.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 82.6% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to tyres, headlamps, and brake pads.
