2010 Volkswagen Touran 1.2L Petrol · WR60 VFL

The 2010 Volkswagen Touran presents a stable and currently compliant roadworthiness position following its most recent MOT on 24 December 2025 at 123,560 miles, where it passed with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet is significant given the vehicle’s earlier history of recurring minor advisories and a failure. The maintenance trend over the last three years shows a clear improvement, with the tester flagging progressively fewer issues, suggesting the previous owner addressed the immediate failure points and has maintained the vehicle to a higher standard leading into late 2025. The mileage accumulation of roughly 7,722 miles per year over sixteen years sits squarely within typical annual usage for a family MPV of this age. The record shows consistent yearly testing around the late December window, with no suspicious gaps in the MOT timeline. The odometer progression from 102,425 miles in December 2022 to 110,437 miles in December 2023, and then to 116,717 miles in December 2024, confirms steady road use rather than long periods of dormancy. This consistent mileage gain means wear on consumable components like brake pads and suspension bushes has been gradual rather than severe. Despite the recent clean test, the history reveals a persistent pattern of minor fluid leaks and suspension wear that requires physical verification. The tester repeatedly flagged front oil leaks and coolant seepage across the 2022 and 2024 tests, describing them as not excessive at the time. A prospective buyer should inspect the engine block and gearbox area for fresh oil residue to confirm these seepage points have not degraded into active leaks. The offside front shock absorber also showed light oil misting in both 2022 and 2023. While this did not result in a failure, a physical check for wetness or damping loss on that corner is advisable. The braking system has been the primary source of mechanical attention. The December 2024 failure at 116,717 miles involved a split offside front CV boot and critically thin rear pads, alongside advisories on front pad wear. Although the subsequent 2025 test passed, the underlying condition of the front brake discs, which were flagged as worn and pitted in 2023, remains a point of interest. A buyer should measure the disc thickness and inspect the caliper slides, as binding issues often follow neglected pad replacements on the Touran platform.
