2018 Volkswagen Touran 1.4L Petrol · PL67 AZJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 at 56,420 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive replacement. While the vehicle failed in November 2024 due to a significantly worn front inner brake disc and an offside front tyre, the subsequent pass indicates these specific safety defects were addressed. However, the persistence of brake-related advisories across multiple years suggests components are only replaced once they approach failure. At 56,420 miles over eight years, the Touran has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family vehicle. The mileage progression shows consistent annual usage, with increments of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles between 2022 and 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which can often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components, though as evidenced by the perishing tyres noted in the 2022 test. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system as the record shows a clear history of pitting and scoring on both front and rear discs since 2022. The tester consistently noted a limited underbody inspection due to undershields, which prevents a definitive assessment of the structural integrity or corrosion levels on the chassis panelling. It is vital to remove these shields to check for hidden rust or compromised mounting points. Additionally, the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear and perishing warrant a check of the suspension alignment and bushing condition to ensure no mechanical faults are causing premature tyre failure.
