2020 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · ER61 BUS

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 1 December 2025 at 27,617 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean record has persisted across the last three years, indicating that the vehicle has been well-maintained and meets regulatory standards without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles annually. Between the December 2023 test at 17,681 miles and the November 2024 test at 22,524 miles, the van covered 4,843 miles in just eleven months. This low-usage profile suggests the vehicle has been used for short-distance trips or kept for extended periods, which typically preserves the integrity of the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mile counterparts. While the MOT history shows no mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on the specific risks associated with low-mileage vehicles. A buyer should check for dry rot in tyre sidewalls and flat-spotting which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary. Given the age of the vehicle despite the low mileage, it is vital to inspect brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure that rubber suspension bushes have not perished or cracked. Checking the chassis for early signs of rust is also prudent, as road wear does not prevent environmental oxidation over time.
