2006 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · RA06 YAE

The 2025‑09‑04 MOT at 156,903 miles passed, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the recurring anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover deterioration and tyre wear indicate a stable maintenance trend rather than improvement. From the first DVSA test in August 2013 at 88,525 miles, the mileage has climbed steadily to 156,903 miles by September 2025, an increase of roughly 68,400 miles or about 7,800 miles per year, which is typical for a 20‑year‑old vehicle and shows no large gaps in the annual testing record. A buyer should therefore inspect the front anti‑roll bar linkage ball joints, suspension arm pins and bushes, and the constant‑velocity drive‑shaft boots for play or damaged boots, check tyre tread depth and edge wear, verify the oil leak source, and examine the condition of the brakes and suspension mounting points for any excessive movement or corrosion.
