Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Volkswagen Touran?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Volkswagen Touran?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Volkswagen Touran?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Is the 2022 Volkswagen Touran reliable?

Based on MOT data from 334 vehicles, the 2022 Volkswagen Touran has a first-time MOT pass rate of 93.7%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Moderate sample. 334 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2022 Volkswagen Touran is a reliably built vehicle, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 93.7%—well above the UK average of 80%—and only 4.5% of cars ever developing dangerous defects. Petrol models perform particularly well at 94.2% pass rate, suggesting the powertrain is fundamentally sound across the board.

At nearly 21,600 miles median and 25,600 miles average, these Tourans show typical wear for their age, yet failures remain minimal at just 0.14 per vehicle on average. The 1.2 advisories per car typically point to minor wear items rather than structural concerns, so when you're shopping for one, focus your pre-purchase inspection on routine servicing history and that pesky 4.5% dangerous defect rate—ask the seller directly about any previous MOT issues or warranty claims.

The 2022 Volkswagen Touran passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (93.7% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
