2009 Volkswagen Touran 1.9L Diesel · RJ09 XBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 123,929 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding a slight oil leak and both rear tyres approaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This suggests that while the vehicle is operational, consumable components are reaching the end of their service life and are being addressed once they trend toward failure or significant advisories. At approximately 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 123,929 miles represents an average of roughly 7,300 miles per annum, which is consistent with a family vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage, with approximately 4,600 miles driven between the June 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,100 miles in the preceding year. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been neglected, but does not negate the age-related degradation of rubber components and seals, which is evident in the recorded faults. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as ball joints and dust covers were flagged in 2022 and 2023. Although these were reportedly rectified, the recurring nature of uneven tyre wear in the two most recent tests indicates a potential ongoing alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require verification. The slight oil leak noted in 2025 also warrants a close look to determine if it is a minor seal weep or a more significant engine gasket failure. Furthermore, given the history of thin brake pads noted in both 2022 and 2023, the braking system should be checked for binding calipers or excessive disc scoring to ensure the current components are properly maintained.
