2004 Volkswagen Touareg 2.5L Diesel · RG04 BPZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having achieved three consecutive clean MOT passes following an initial failure. The most recent test on 13 August 2025 at 128,412 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety and emission standards. This trend suggests that after the issues identified in August 2022, the owner has addressed the necessary repairs and maintained the vehicle effectively over the last three years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, with a total of 128,412 miles representing an average of approximately 5,837 miles per year. The data shows a consistent accumulation of roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles between annual tests from 2022 through 2025. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been subjected to shorter trips or long periods of inactivity rather than high-intensity motorway commuting. However, low mileage on a vehicle of this age can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals due to age rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the suspension system. While the MOT record shows no recent failures, the age of the Touareg makes it susceptible to corrosion in the subframe and exhaust mounting points. Given the failure in August 2022 at 101,312 miles, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure no new play has developed. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for excessive pitting or seized calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust over time.
