2017 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · TT63 CEY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 69,405 miles passed, it revealed that both rear tyres are nearing the legal limit and flagged an active TPMS warning. This follows a pattern where components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure or advisory status, suggesting the owner prioritizes repairs only when strictly mandated by the MOT tester. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in data between April 2023 at 48,907 miles and April 2024 at 58,344 miles, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the usage has slowed to roughly 5,500 miles per annum. This relatively low annual mileage generally benefits the drivetrain, but it explains the degradation of rubber-based components seen in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres and suspension system. The record shows recurring cracking and perishing of the rear tyres dating back to 2024, which indicates the rubber is failing due to age and dry rot rather than tread depth. The uneven wear on the edges of the tyres across multiple tests suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have gone un. Furthermore, the failure in 2024 due to front brake pads worn to the wear indicator confirms that basic service items are neglected until they impact safety standards. The active TPMS light flagged in the 2026 test requires diagnostic attention to determine if the fault is a faulty sensor or a slow leak in one of the wheels. Given the history of tyre-related issues and the failed 2024 test, the vehicle should be checked for signs of structural corrosion on the brake lines and uneven wear on the brake discs. The overall data indicates a vehicle that is maintained to the minimum level required to remain on the road.
