2014 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · DE14 AAO

The 2014 Volkswagen Transporter remains roadworthy, as the May 27 2025 MOT at 58,314 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The mileage trajectory shows a modest annual increase of roughly 1,600 to 2,000 miles since the March 19 2022 test at 49,430 miles, reflecting light usage rather than neglect; the vehicle has accumulated about 4,860 miles per year on average, well below typical wear rates for a 12‑year‑old van. A buyer should scrutinise the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or cracking, verify that the front and rear brake calipers move freely and that the discs show no scoring or excessive wear, and examine the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for any signs of structural rust or corrosion that could compromise integrity. Given the consistent pass history and low mileage, the primary concerns are age‑related component degradation rather than recurring mechanical failures, making a thorough physical inspection essential to confirm that the recorded cleanliness translates into genuine mechanical soundness.
