Our Verdict
This vehicle is a cautious buy—its diese
Before purchasing, verify the full service history, particularly for the diesel TDI’s common issues: turbocharger wear, fuel system contamination, and emissions-related components. The MOT history shows no major failures, but the 2023 test noted a minor tyre cut—this could indicate ongoing wear or a previous incident. Ask for records of oil changes (every 15,000–20,000 miles for diesel) and emissions compliance (Euro 6 DG). Negotiate on the mileage, which is above average for a 2020 model, and budget for potential future costs like brake pad replacement or tyre rotation.
Diesel fuel economy for this V6 TDI is typically around 45–50mpg in mixed traffic, but expect higher costs than petrol vehicles. The vehicle falls into Band D tax (£165/year) and is in Insurance Group 22, with average annual insurance premiums around £1,200–£1,500. Maintenance costs for a diesel of this age are higher; expect £500–£1,000/year for servicing, with potential extra expenses for turbo upgrades or emissions system repairs. The estimated annual running cost is £1,200–£1,500, accounting for fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance.
Inspect the brake system thoroughly, as the 2026 MOT noted thin rear brake pads. Check for uneven wear or grinding noises, which could signal deeper issues like warped discs or hydraulic problems. The windscreen’s repaired stone chip is a red flag for potential future damage—ensure the repair was professional and the glass is free of cracks. For the diesel engine, look for leaks under the bonnet (especially around the turbo or oil filter), and confirm the fuel filter and injectors are clean. Test the emissions system—Euro 6 compliance is critical, and a failing test could void warranty coverage. Finally, verify the tyres for uneven wear or cuts, as the 2023 MOT noted a minor issue; ensure they meet legal tread depth (1.6mm minimum).
The 2020 Volkswagen Touareg V6 TDI (VE20VRL) in grey, with 60,351 miles recorded by September 2026, has a mixed but not alarming MOT record. The most recent test flagged minor wear on the rear brake pads and a repaired stone chip on the windscreen, while earlier tests were clean. However, the engine’s diesel TDI configuration and the vehicle’s age—just over six years—mean reliability and maintenance costs remain key concerns.
Volkswagen Touareg TDI models, particularly the V6 variants, have been **mixed in reliability reviews**. Diesel engines of this age often face issues with turbocharger wear, fuel system contamination, and emissions compliance. The Touareg’s high mileage and diesel configuration make it a higher-risk purchase unless backed by a thorough service history and regular maintenance.
