2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · DDD 850L

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 8 April 2025 at 109,485 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 5 July 2024 at 105,706 miles and 10 July 2023 at 91,725 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults or unresolved advisories across its recorded history. The recorded mileage of 109,485 at eight years old equates to roughly 13,686 miles per year, which sits high for a 2018 van and points to consistent commercial or high-use operation rather than sporadic standing. Annual increments confirm steady accumulation: the tester logged 75,683 miles in July 2022, 91,725 by July 2023, 105,706 by July 2024, and 109,485 by April 2025. A single anomaly appears on 11 July 2022 when the van failed at 75,683 miles, yet the retest one day later on 12 July 2022 passed at identical mileage with no defects listed, suggesting a clerical or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. The clean MOT sequence gives no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion for a buyer to chase. The sparse record offers little insight into consumable turnover such as tyres or wiper blades, so the absence of advisories should not be read as proof of recent renewal. A purchaser should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity, drivetrain condition, and brake component thickness given the high annual mileage. The July 2022 fail-retest pair warrants a check of the original failure reason via the DVSA portal to rule out any suppressed defect before completion of sale.
