2021 Volkswagen Touareg V6 SE TDI Auto 3.0L Diesel · SN21 AFD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The record shows a failure in July 2025 at 74,505 miles which was immediately followed by a pass on the same day with no recorded defects. This anomaly suggests either an administrative error or a minor sensor glitch that was rectified instantly rather than a recurring mechanical failure. Since the July 2024 test, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any advisories regarding structural integrity or wear-related components. At 74,505 miles over five years, this Touareg has averaged approximately 15,000 miles per annum. This usage profile exceeds the national average for a premium diesel SUV, indicating consistent motorway use rather than standing periods. The interval between the July 2024 test at 66,675 miles and the July 2025 test at 74,505 miles shows an accumulation of nearly 8,000 miles. This steady progression confirms the vehicle has been used regularly, which typically helps prevent premature degradation of heavy-duty suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the high-wear areas most affected by this mileage level. Given the V6 TDI powertrain and the weight of the chassis, inspect the front control arm bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or oil weeping. The braking system should be checked for disc thickness and caliper scoring, as high-mileage cycles often accelerate component thinning. While the MOT history shows no advisories for corrosion or exhaust leaks, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the undercarriage for fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox seals.
