The VOLKSWAGEN TOURAN (2003-07) 5DR MPV 1.9 TDI 105 S 7-SEAT is a compact, five-door family MPV: taller and roomier than a hatchback, but easier to park than a large people carrier. It sits in the practical end of the UK used-car market, offering seven seats in an everyday package. Mycarcheck.com recorded 1,657 look-ups covering 827 distinct VINs, a sample showing interest in this Touran. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 144,000 miles, around 7,000 miles a year, and nearly five previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £800. These are useful snapshots, not a guarantee for a car. The 1.9 TDI suits family trips and commuting, with economical diesel running and flexible seating. Its upright cabin and seven seats set it apart from family hatchbacks, while compact dimensions are less daunting than larger MPVs. Check age, mileage and keeper history carefully, making it a useful choice for families.
