2016 Volkswagen Touareg 3.0L Diesel · X666 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a recent successful MOT on 27 April 2026 at 86,792 miles. While the tester initially flagged a non-functional offside rear fog lamp, the subsequent pass indicates this minor electrical fault was rectified. The maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records in earlier years to more frequent advisories regarding consumables in recent years, though the most recent test shows no outstanding defects. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical ten-year usage pattern, averaging approximately 8,679 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 28,238 miles in October 2019 to the current 86,792 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of prolonged inactivity evident in the data. The jump from 75,940 miles in October 2024 to 85,860 miles in October 2025 suggests a slight increase in annual driving compared to previous years, but remains within normal parameters for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and suspension components during a physical inspection. The record shows a recurring pattern of brake wear, with front brake discs flagged as worn in October 2023 and October 2024, followed by thin pads across both front and rear axles in October 2025. The October 2025 test also identified an oil leak that was not excessive, so checking for fresh seepage around the engine or sump is necessary. The suspension requires specific attention due to the corrosion noted on the offside front coil spring in October 2025. While the vehicle passed the most recent test, the history of tyre wear near legal limits and the malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system in 2024 suggests that while mechanical issues are being addressed, basic upkeep of consumables has occasionally been deferred. Verifying the current condition of the tyres and the integrity of the suspension bushes and springs is recommended.
