The VOLKSWAGEN TOURAN (2003-07) 5DR MPV 1.6 FSI 115 S AUTO 7-SEAT is a compact family MPV: taller and roomier than a hatchback, but easier to manage than a large people carrier. Its seven seats and flexible cabin made it a practical alternative to the Vauxhall Zafira and Renault Scenic. The 1.6-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox suit relaxed family trips and everyday errands rather than brisk driving; the rearmost seats are most useful for children or occasional passengers. The Touran’s upright shape, good visibility and useful storage are its strengths, while its straightforward, familiar Volkswagen layout appeals to buyers wanting an uncomplicated used seven-seater. mycarcheck.com records are based on a small sample: nine checks covering four VINs. They show an average private-sale valuation of £900, recorded mileage of 86,000 and about 3,000 miles a year; cars averaged roughly 4.6 previous keepers. Check each Touran’s condition and history carefully.
