Common Issues to Check For on a Used Volkswagen Touareg
The Touareg's luxury technology and diesel history bring a few well-documented issues worth checking before you buy:
- Dieselgate Buybacks: The Touareg TDI was one of the models affected by the 2015 emissions scandal — a VIN check can help confirm whether a used diesel Touareg was part of the buyback program
- Adaptive Air Suspension Wear: Higher trims fitted with optional air suspension can develop compressor or air strut leaks — a sagging ride height at startup is a telltale sign
