2011 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · WR60 VFT

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards increasing mechanical wear and deferred attention. The most recent test in September 2025 at 153,151 miles identified multiple issues that were absent in the previous 2022 inspection. While the car passed, the presence of fluctuating front brakes and legally worn rear tyres indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where components are beginning to require proactive replacement. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered 44,188 miles, suggesting steady and regular use. However, the gap of 7,868 miles recorded between October 2024 and September 2025 shows a slight acceleration in usage compared to the previous annual average, which correlates with the rapid degradation of consumable items like the tyres and the braking system noted in the latest report. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the braking system, as the record shows a history of imbalanced front brakes in 2023 followed by fluctuating service brakes in 2025. This recurring fault suggests either warped discs or sticking calipers that require professional attention to ensure consistent stopping performance. The suspension should also be checked thoroughly, as the repeated reports of tyres worn on the edge in 2023 and 2025 indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that are causing premature tyre failure.
