The VOLKSWAGEN TOURAN (2007-10) 5DR MPV 2.0 TDI DPF 170 MATCH 6SPD is a compact, five-door people carrier: a practical alternative to a conventional family hatchback, with a taller cabin and flexible passenger space. In the UK used-car market, it sits among family MPVs such as the Ford C-Max and Vauxhall Zafira, prioritising everyday usefulness over sporty styling. The 170 TDI diesel and six-speed manual make this Touran a sensible choice for families covering regular longer journeys, school runs and holidays, with useful pulling power when loaded. It is less suited to mainly short urban trips than a petrol car. mycarcheck.com has recorded 34 checks across 21 distinct VINs; those cars averaged 136,000 miles, 9,000 miles a year and about 3.6 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £2,800, making condition and service history especially important. Its roomy, sensible character is the Touran’s main draw against rivals for family buyers on a budget.
