Volkswagen Touran S TDI 105 (2007)
2007 Volkswagen Touran S TDI 105
CarHunch analysed 113 real MOT records for the 2007 Volkswagen Touran S TDI 105. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2007 Touran S TDI 105 is a weaker performer than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of 69.3% against the national 80% benchmark—a meaningful gap that suggests you're buying into a model that's more likely to need work. The good news is that no vehicles in this sample have ever presented a dangerous defect, and the diesel engines show consistent reliability with a 68.8% pass rate.
At 151,000 km average mileage, these Tourans have been well-used family workhorses, which explains why they average 1.27 failures per test—mostly routine wear items rather than catastrophic problems. Before committing to one, budget for an independent pre-purchase inspection focused on the suspension, cooling system, and transmission, as these tend to be the common failure points on higher-mileage examples.
What to check before buying a 2007 Volkswagen Touran S TDI 105
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
