The VOLKSWAGEN TOURAN (2007-10) 5DR MPV 1.4 TSI SE 7-SEAT is a compact family MPV: taller and more flexible than a hatchback, but easier to park than a large people carrier. Its seven seats and five-door layout make it a practical choice for households needing occasional extra passenger space. In mycarcheck.com usage, it attracted 120 look-ups covering 53 different VINs, a useful sample of shopper interest rather than a measure of all cars on the road. Checks recorded an average private-sale valuation of £2,400, latest recorded mileage of 97,000 and 3.2 previous keepers; average annual mileage was 4,000 in these checks. The 1.4 TSI petrol engine gives this Touran a more lively feel than many cars, while SE trim brings comfort; economy depends on condition and driving. Against rivals such as the Ford C-MAX and Vauxhall Zafira, its flexible seating and Volkswagen cabin appeal stand out, suiting families and school runs.
