Insight summary
Volkswagen Touran is an uncommon model in this snapshot, with 62,817 represented vehicles and 0.15% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 74.7% from 499,027 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 49. The current pool shows an average of 123,107 miles and an average age of 13.7 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 134,118 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are windscreen damage, driveshaft boots and suspension joints. The practical read is that the Volkswagen Touran looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
