Is a second-hand Volkswagen Touran a good car?

The Volkswagen Touran is a car that proves we were all wrong to clamour for SUVs. This plain-wrapper MPV has way more space and practicality in its roomy cabin than any Tiguan, but it’s fallen out of fashion. 

Inside, there are seats for seven, and the massive rear doors mean that it’s easy to load and unload even from the third row. That third row is even roomy enough that adults can squeeze in, and kids have plenty of space. Not something you can say for many mid-size seven-seaters. 

The middle row has three individual seats which slide and fold, making it much easier to carry kids in their big child safety seats, while up front there’s plenty of space for two grown-ups, who get comfy, height-adjustable seats too. 

The penalty for carrying lots of people is that the boot shrinks to a tiny 137 litres when all seven seats are occupied. With the third row of seats folded away, the Touran’s boot expands to a massive 937 litres, which is bigger even than that of the massive Skoda Kodiaq. There are plenty of storage bins and cup holders dotted about as well, so this really is a very practical, useful car. 

The overriding feeling of owning and driving a Touran is that it’s just easy — easy to drive, easy to use, easy to live with, and easy on your pocket. It’s a shame MPVs like this fell out of fashion, as the Touran is a reminder of just how good they could be.

What to look for when buying a used Touran

In general, the Touran should be a solidly-made and reliable car, but it’s a model that was recalled for various issues — including lighting problems, faulty airbags, incorrect wheels, and even a faulty fuel tank among others — as many as ten times. It’s also worth keeping an extra eye on the DSG automatic gearbox, which requires careful and attentive maintenance as it ages, and some buyers may have skimped on that.

Volkswagen Touran FAQs

The most common issue with the Volkswagen Touran is its DSG automatic gearbox, which requires careful servicing and maintenance, and regular oil changes especially as it ages.

Yes, the VW Touran is a very good car, with lots of space, good build quality, frugal engines, and it’s better to drive than its plain van-like styling would have you believe.

There have been reports of older VW models, Passats especially, lasting for more than one million miles, so clearly the answer is ‘how many miles you got?’ With good maintenance and care, a VW Touran should last well into high six-figure mileages. 150,000 miles is not uncommon, especially as the Touran is beloved of taxi drivers all over Europe.
