2013 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · V6 JFP

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 73,360 miles passed, though it introduced an advisory for a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This indicates a minor issue with alignment or uneven wear rather than a systemic mechanical failure, as the previous four years of testing returned entirely clean records with no recorded defects. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2024, the car covered 11,292 miles, suggesting very light usage. The more recent interval of 5,624 miles between August 2024 and 2025 follows this consistent pattern of operation. While low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based suspension bushes and seals if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods between trips. A buyer should inspect the wheel alignment specifically to address the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 advisory. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and control arm bushes for cracking or per is prudent, as these components age regardless of distance driven. The record shows no historical structural corrosion or brake binding issues, but a manual check of the chassis for surface rust remains necessary to ensure that the low-use history has not resulted in neglected protection over time.
