2015 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · SA15 ELW

The 2025 MOT entries reveal two distinct outcomes for the same date, indicating potential inconsistencies in the testing process. The first entry shows a pass with noted issues: nearside rear tyre worn close to legal limit, rear coil springs corroded, and a central rear anti-roll bar with minor corrosion. The second entry shows a fail for the same vehicle, adding a tyre pressure monitoring system malfunction. These discrepancies suggest either a procedural error or unresolved issues between tests. The recurring mechanical pattern centers on corrosion in rear suspension components and tyre wear . The rear coil springs and anti-roll bar show corrosion, which could indicate exposure to harsh environments or inadequate maintenance. The nearside rear tyre’s wear, close to legal limits, raises concerns about uneven tread or alignment issues. The tyre pressure monitoring system failure is a new defect, potentially signaling electrical or sensor faults. The trend since 2023 shows a sudden emergence of defects after three consecutive clean MOTs. While the 2025 issues are not severe, their presence after years of no problems suggests a possible deterioration in the vehicle’s condition.
