2016 Volkswagen Touran 2.0L Diesel · RJ66 BYM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 92,892 miles passed despite notes regarding pitted and scored front brake discs and a cut in the nearside rear tyre. While the vehicle has passed consecutive tests, the recurrence of consumable wear issues across multiple years suggests that components are only addressed once they approach failure thresholds or trigger an MOT advisory. At 92,892 miles over ten years, the Touran has averaged approximately 9,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family MPV. The mileage accumulation is steady, with a roughly 10,000-mile gap between October 2023 and September 2024, and another 9,000 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, which is generally positive for the condition of rubber components and braking seals. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and wheel geometry, as the record shows repeated issues with uneven tyre wear, specifically inner edge wear on the offside rear tyre in 2023. This often points to misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes. The front brake discs have been flagged as pitted and scored in both 2024 and 2025, indicating they are likely due for replacement shortly to ensure consistent stopping performance and prevent binding. The failure in 2022 at 59,473 miles due to an inoperative engine management light and a low brake hydraulic reservoir warrants a thorough check of the electronic systems and potential fluid leaks. The buyer must verify that the TPMS system is now functioning and that the brake fluid level remains stable between tests. Given the history of windscreen damage across multiple years, the glass should be checked for new cracks that may have developed into the driver's field of view.
