Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently stands in a roadworthiness status of fail , as it has failed the MOT test on the 2023-12-08 date at 107,741 miles. This indicates that the vehicle has not been inspected in the past five years and requires urgent mechanical intervention. The MOT record shows a significant gap between the 2025-01-21 test and the 2023-12-08 failure, suggesting that the vehicle was likely driven without proper maintenance during the intervening period. The current date, 2026-06-18, falls well after the 2023-12-08 test date, confirming that the vehicle has not been passed since the 2023-12-08 test and must be brought back to the MOT. The mileage pattern is characterized by rapid accumulation and a lack of maintenance history, which creates a high risk of imminent failure. The vehicle has accumulated 124,528 miles since its last MOT on 2025-01-21, representing a total of 12,453 miles per year. This high annual mileage is exceptionally steep for a 2016 Volkswagen Touareg, which typically requires approximately 10,000–12,000 miles annually for safe driving. The 109,372 miles recorded in the 2024-01-10 test suggests that the vehicle was driven for a long time and may have experienced wear on suspension components, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. The 107,741 miles recorded in the 2023-12-08 test represents the final MOT before the vehicle failed, indicating that the vehicle was likely driven without proper maintenance during this period, leading to a cumulative risk of structural failure. Given the history of a failed MOT and the high mileage, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify recurring faults in suspension, brakes, or structural integrity. The 2022-08-29 test at 87,539 miles passed, but the 2021-08-17 test at 80,157 miles also passed, which is concerning as the vehicle has failed twice on the same test date, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped. The 2023-12-08 failure at 107,741 miles indicates that the vehicle has not been inspected in the past five years and must be brought back to the MOT. The 2025-01-21 test at 124,528 miles passed, but the 2024-01-10 test at 109,372 miles failed, showing that the vehicle has not been passed since the 2024-01-10 test. The 2023-12-08 test at 107,741 miles failed, showing that the vehicle has not been passed since the 2023-12-08 test.
