Which year to buy? →
The 2021 Volkswagen Touran is a notably reliable proposition, with a 92.3% first-time pass rate that handily beats the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects have only cropped up in 11.8% of vehicles, well below the typical concern threshold. Petrol and diesel variants perform almost identically (92.4% and 91.5% respectively), so fuel choice won't affect your odds of a smooth MOT.
At just over 29,000 miles median mileage, these Tourans are still relatively young and lightly used, which explains why the average vehicle picks up only 0.25 failures but 2.3 advisories per test. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focusing on the advisory items—typically minor wear and tear—since the pass rate is so strong that failures, when they do occur, may signal deferred maintenance rather than model-wide weakness.
The 2021 Volkswagen Touran passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (92.8% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
These stats describe 832 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.

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
