2018 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · T55 ROD

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 6 October 2025 at 71,008 miles passed without any defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed vehicle requirements, preventing the mechanical failures or structural degradation that typically trigger notes during the testing process. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,876 miles per annum. Between the October 2021 test at 30,309 miles and the October 2024 test at 60,771 miles, the vehicle covered 30,462 miles at regular intervals of roughly 10,000 annually. This steady accumulation suggests the car was not subjected to extreme neglect nor left for long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished rubber components and fluid degradation. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults or historical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components typical of heavy SUVs of this age. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of tearing, as well as checking for oil leaks on the shock absorbers. Given the mileage, inspecting the brake discs for thinning and the pad thickness for uneven wear remains necessary, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of these consumables unless they pose an immediate safety risk.
