2017 Audi Touareg V6 R-Line TDI Auto 3.0L Diesel · TIA 11

A pattern of failing the MOT only to pass shortly thereafter defines the recent testing history, with failures recorded in July 2024 and July 2026. The most recent certification on 7 August 2026 was achieved without any defects or advisories listed. This trend indicates that while the vehicle has not passed its tests on the first attempt in recent years, the issues identified were rectified quickly to meet the minimum roadworthiness standards. The recorded mileage of 71,171 miles over approximately nine years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,908 miles. This is a typical usage profile for this vehicle type, suggesting a consistent application of use that avoids the risks associated with both extreme high-mileage wear and the degradation caused by long-term standing. As the DVSA records contain no specific advisories or listed defects, there are no documented issues regarding suspension linkages, brake pipe corrosion, or exhaust emissions to target. The absence of recurring advisories indicates that the vehicle has not suffered from chronic mechanical degradation in the areas typically monitored during an MOT inspection. A prospective buyer should focus the test drive on the operational smoothness of the automatic gearbox and the precision of the steering, as these elements are not fully evaluated during a standard MOT. While the record is currently clean of advisories, the previous failures in 2024 and 2026 mean that a physical inspection should verify the quality of the repairs carried out at those times.
