Volkswagen Touran SE TDI 105 (2007)
2007 Volkswagen Touran SE TDI 105
CarHunch analysed 121 real MOT records for the 2007 Volkswagen Touran SE TDI 105. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2007 Touran TDI 105 is a noticeably unreliable proposition: only 64% pass their MOT first time, well below the UK average of 80%, and the median CarHunch score of 50 reflects genuine structural weakness. On the positive side, dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so safety isn't the primary concern—rather, it's the cumulative expense of repeated repairs.
At 144,000 miles median, these cars are showing their age and have clearly endured heavy use, which explains why they average 1.1 failures per test. The lack of advisories is misleading; it suggests owners are fixing problems only when they fail, not maintaining them preventatively. If you're considering one, budget for regular specialist diesel work and expect to fail your first MOT attempt—factor in re-test costs before committing.
What to check before buying a 2007 Volkswagen Touran SE 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.
