Does high mileage mean more Volkswagen Touran MOT failures at the same age?

At ages 10–14, 15.1% of Volkswagen Tourans with under 40,000 miles failed first time, against 38.3% of those with over 140,000 miles (2024, n = 6,451). Inside this age group, higher mileage goes with more failures.

Is the Volkswagen Touran driven more or less than average, and does that change the picture?

This fleet is driven more than average. Matched on annual mileage as well as age (test chains 2019–2024), the index is 94.8, on the other side of normal, so both readings are shown.

Both readings are shown: this comparison changes when usage or inspection rules differ.

If a Volkswagen Touran fails, does it fail again?

37% of Volkswagen Tourans that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 28.6% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 28,554). The failure most likely to come back is ‘body, chassis, structure’: 38.5% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Volkswagen Touran cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Volkswagen Tourans tested at age 5, about 14 failed the MOT first time; at age 10, about 27. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 13 and 14, 7.51 percentage points (2024).

Does the Volkswagen Touran fail inspections in other countries too?

In the Netherlands, 51.1% of Volkswagen Tourans failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 50.8% for all cars there (2024 by country, n = 26,177 inspections).

Both readings are shown: this comparison changes when usage or inspection rules differ.

Inspections abroad disagree: none point the same way as Britain, Norway, Finland and the Netherlands do not. Test rules, climate and how the vehicles are used differ, so both readings are shown.

Does the month of a Volkswagen Touran MOT matter?

Volkswagen Tourans fail first time most in January (35.1%, against 31.1% for all cars that month) and least in May (33.1%) (2024, n = 73,577).

The month of the MOT makes little difference for the Volkswagen Touran.

Volkswagen Touran MOT: quick answers

What is the Volkswagen Touran first-time MOT pass rate?

67.7% of first attempts passed in 2024 (73,577 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 73,577 primary tests: 32.3% failed first time and 73.2% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 97 is shown separately.
