2008 Volkswagen Touran 1.9L Diesel · YA08 HFS

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. The most recent test in August 2025 at 118,776 miles saw the car pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This shift from multiple advisories and failures to a clean sheet suggests the current owner is proactive regarding repairs rather than performing reactive maintenance. The recorded mileage of 118,776 miles over 18 years averages to approximately 6,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a family vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,500 miles since the 2024 inspection. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been sidelined for long periods, which helps prevent seals from drying and components from seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking systems given the history of recurring faults. The 2021 test flagged a worn nearside rear suspension arm bush and a binding offside front caliper, while the 2023 record noted thin offside front pads and a deteriorated nearside CV boot. While these appear resolved in later tests, a physical inspection should verify the absence of grease leakage from CV boots and check for play in the suspension wishbones to ensure the previous wear issues have not returned. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and subframe remains essential despite the clean recent MOT results.
