2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 H-Line TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · DS21 AGU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 8 January 2026 at 74,205 miles, confirming its roadworthiness. The record shows a clean history with no recorded defects or advisories across the last three inspections. While the vehicle failed its initial check on 7 January 2026, the absence of recorded failure items suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor non-mechanical issue that was rectified within twenty-four hours. The overall maintenance trend appears stable and indicates that the vehicle has been kept to a high standard of mechanical readiness. This Transporter has covered 74,205 miles over five years, averaging approximately 14,841 miles annually. This rate of accumulation is consistent with commercial or heavy-duty use rather than light domestic operation. The gap between the May 2024 test at 51,366 miles and the January 2025 test at 56,139 miles shows a period of lower usage, followed by a significant increase in mileage leading into early 2026. This pattern confirms the vehicle is a working machine, and potential buyers should expect the associated wear on high-mileage drivetrain components. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, track rod ends, and shock absorbers, as these components often reach the end of their service life after 70,000 miles. You should specifically check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the MOT test only assesses braking efficiency and not the remaining friction material thickness. Inspect the underside for any signs of heavy loading or impact damage, and verify that the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears during a test drive. Given the commercial nature of this model, ensure the service history documentation supports the mileage to confirm that the engine and DSG gearbox have received the necessary periodic maintenance.
