The 2010 Volkswagen Touran's first-time pass rate of 76.2% sits below the UK average of 80%, and that's a genuine concern—more worrying still, 53.6% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above what you'd expect. Diesel models, which make up the vast majority at 5,865 of 6,413 vehicles, perform slightly worse at 75.9% than their petrol counterparts at 80.0%, suggesting fuel type does make a difference here.
At around 87,500 miles median, these Tourans have done typical mileage for their age, but they're racking up serious maintenance demands: owners face nearly 4 failures per test and almost 24 advisories on average. Before buying, budget for repairs and run a full pre-purchase inspection—this is a high-maintenance family car that will cost money to keep safe.
The 2010 Volkswagen Touran has a decent first-time pass rate (76.2%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.
These stats describe 6,413 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
