VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2014 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-02 at 86,187 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating current compliance. However, the preceding test on 2025-12-23 at 86,185 miles ended in a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting an anomaly or potential oversight in the testing process. The prior tests from 2023 to 2025 showed consistent passes with no defects, implying a stable maintenance trend until the late 2025 failure. The lack of recorded issues in the latest test suggests the vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the unexplained failure raises questions about the reliability of the MOT history. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,182 miles annually. Notably, the 2025-12-23 test occurred just 11 days after the 2025-01-07 test, with a 4,276-mile increase over that period—slightly above the annual average. This rapid accumulation could indicate heavier usage or inconsistent maintenance, though no defects were recorded in the subsequent pass. The MOT history is sparse in terms of specific mechanical findings, with all tests reporting no defects, which may reflect either exemplary upkeep or incomplete data capture. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age. The braking system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these issues often emerge in older models. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion or leaks could develop over time. While the MOT records show no immediate concerns, the unexplained failure and limited defect details necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
