VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2018 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance. Following the most recent test in September 2025 at 142,078 miles, the transporter passed with no defects recorded. This is a significant improvement over the failure in 2022, indicating that the owner has addressed identified mechanical issues and maintained the vehicle through subsequent successful annual inspections. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity use for an eight-year-old commercial, averaging approximately 17,760 miles annually. Between July 2022 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 63,277 miles in just over three years, suggesting consistent, long-distance operational patterns. While this high mileage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain and suspension components, the lack of Advisories in the last three test results suggests the vehicle is being kept in good mechanical order despite the heavy usage schedule. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The 2022 failure at 78,801 much highlighted worn inner suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside, along with thin rear brake pads. Although these were rectified, the high mileage accumulated since then means rubber components and braking hardware are likely nearing their service limits again. Check for any signs of play in the steering geometry or uneven wear on the tyres, which are common in high-mileage Transporters of this era.
