Volkswagen Touran (2019)
2019 Volkswagen Touran
CarHunch analysed 2,704 real MOT records for the 2019 Volkswagen Touran. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Volkswagen Touran is solidly more reliable than the UK average, with an 88.7% first-time pass rate against the national 80%, though just over one in five vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—something worth investigating in any used example you view. Petrol versions hold a marginal edge over diesel (89.7% vs 87.6% pass rate), suggesting fewer powertrain surprises with the petrol option.
At 30,171 miles median, these Tourans sit below the typical mileage for their age, indicating relatively light use across the sample. The average vehicle carries just 0.58 failures per test and 4.9 advisories, which tells you most issues are minor wear items rather than structural problems—but always request the full MOT history to check what those dangerous defects actually were before committing to a purchase.
Petrol vs Diesel
Pass rate difference of 2 percentage points — worth knowing if you're choosing between the two.
What to check before buying a 2019 Volkswagen Touran
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.
- ⚠️ 21.4% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
