Which year to buy? →
The 2014 Volkswagen Touran passes its MOT at 84.5%, which is comfortably above the UK average of 80%, suggesting solid baseline reliability—though the petrol version (92.1% pass rate) is noticeably more robust than the diesel (83.8%). The serious concern here is that nearly 40% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is well above acceptable and should make any buyer pause.
At 65,632 miles median, these Tourans are running lower than typical for their age, which is encouraging. However, the average vehicle racks up 1.79 failures per test and a hefty 13.2 advisories, pointing to incremental wear issues rather than catastrophic problems—suspension, lights, and minor corrosion are likely culprits. Before committing to a used Touran, get a full pre-purchase inspection that specifically probes the dangerous defect history: ask the seller for MOT records and have a mechanic examine brakes, steering, and emissions systems.
The 2014 Volkswagen Touran has a decent first-time pass rate (84.5%), 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 5,358 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.
