2012 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · RR61 LAL

The 2012 Volkswagen Touran presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 November 2025 at 139,735 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 28 December 2024 at 139,315 miles also passed clean. Across the available record the vehicle shows no advisories or mechanical faults, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards over the observed period. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,981 miles per year. The record shows 127,534 miles at the October 2022 tests, rising to 134,431 miles by October 2023 and 139,315 miles by December 2024. A minor gap exists between the October 2023 and December 2024 tests, yet annual accumulation remains modest. The single failed test on 11 October 2022 at 127,533 miles recorded no defects, with the vehicle passing the next day at 127,534 miles, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT history, no recurring wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes were flagged by testers. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity advisories implies the body and chassis have been maintained to a passable standard. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable components, as MOT passes confirm minimum legal condition rather than remaining service life. Prior owners appear to have kept the Touran to a sensible annual mileage with no skipped tests beyond the one-day 2022 anomaly. The clean sheet offers reasonable assurance, but in-person checks of coil springs, exhaust emissions, and underbody rust remain prudent on a vehicle of this age and mileage.
