2013 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · DDZ 123

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent MOT on 17 March 2025 at 127,355 miles passed without a single defect or advisory. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements. The mileage accumulation is typical for a 13 year old Transporter, averaging roughly 9,797 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between February 2022 and March 2023, where the odometer rose from 74,936 to 93,932 miles. A similar jump occurred between March 2023 and March 2024, adding nearly 20,000 miles. The usage has since slowed, with 13,704 miles added over the last year. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and type. The only anomaly is the failure on 16 March 2024 at 113,320 miles, which was resolved within two weeks for the pass on 30 March 2024. Because the record lists no specific defects for that failure, the cause remains unknown. This lack of documented advisories over several years is rare for a commercial vehicle and may indicate a very high standard of preventative maintenance or a lack of detailed reporting by the testing stations. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on areas the MOT often overlooks or which develop regardless of test results. Prioritise checking for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as these are common failure points for this generation of Transporter. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the mileage suggests these components are nearing the end of their natural service life. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these critical engine components are not assessed during a standard MOT.
