2012 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · BF62 ABN

The 2026-02-09 MOT recorded a pass for the 2012 Volkswagen Transporter at 281,314 miles, yet the same day logged a fail with no defects noted, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum criteria despite underlying concerns; the maintenance trend remains stable as all five tests from 2024 to 2026 show no recorded defects. Mileage accumulation has been rapid: from 250,307 miles on 2 January 2024 to 259,186 miles on 6 January 2025 (8,879 miles in 13 months) and then to 281,314 miles on 9 February 2026 (22,128 miles in 13 months), reflecting roughly 20,000 miles per year for a 14‑year‑old van, with testing intervals roughly annual and no significant gaps in the record. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, and inspect the exhaust system and chassis for corrosion or structural damage, as these components are prone to fatigue under high annual mileage. In addition, the tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and the overall drivetrain health should be assessed in person, since the record contains no explicit fault listings but the high mileage suggests accelerated consumable wear and potential hidden mechanical stress.
