The VOLKSWAGEN TOURAN (2010-15) 5DR MPV 1.6 TDI CR DPF 105 EU5 S DSG AUTO6 is a compact five-door people carrier, offering family-friendly space in a more manageable size than a large MPV. In the UK used-car market, it bridges the gap between roomy hatchbacks and larger family vans today. Its diesel engine and automatic gearbox make it a sensible choice for regular commuting and family trips, while the tall cabin and useful luggage room suit school runs, holidays and shopping. It is best for households wanting comfort and flexibility, rather than sporty handling or the smallest possible running costs. Among rivals such as the Ford C-Max, Renault Scenic and Vauxhall Zafira, the Touran is known for a car-like feel and a practical, well-organised interior. mycarcheck.com recorded 233 checks across 112 VINs, a useful sample; average recorded mileage was 107,000, with about three previous keepers and a £4,700 private-sale valuation.
