2018 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 12 May 2025 at 21,967 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows three consecutive years of clean passes, indicating that the mechanical and structural components inspected by the tester have been maintained to a consistent standard without recurring technical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old transporter, averaging approximately 2,746 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2022 and May 2023, where the vehicle covered only 7,705 miles. Since the 2023 test, usage has increased more steadily, covering 4,609 miles over two years to reach the 2025 inspection. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check for perished or cracking rubber on the suspension bushes, tyres, and wiper blades, as these often degrade through time rather than through use. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. While the failure in May 2022 at 9,653 miles was rectified immediately to allow a subsequent pass, verifying that the specific cause of that failure was addressed will ensure no underlying issues remain in the chassis.
