2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · EY16 ABX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on January 27 2026 with 115,065 miles. The records show an improving trend following a period of instability in late 2024. While the vehicle suffered two consecutive failures during that year, the clean pass in the most recent test indicates that the identified issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum safety standards without recorded defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a commercial Transporter, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year over its decade. There is a notable gap in records between the April 2022 test at 102,323 miles and the May 2024 test at 107,540 miles, during which the vehicle covered only 5,000 miles. However, the usage accelerated significantly in late 2024, with 7,500 miles covered between May and November of that year. This sudden increase in activity suggests the vehicle has been utilized more heavily in recent months. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that triggered the two 2024 failures, as the record does not specify the exact mechanical reasons for those declines. Given the age and mileage of this van, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and joints is essential, as these are common points of wear on this model. The buyer should also inspect for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, to ensure that the recent passes are not masking underlying rust issues that could manifest as future failures.
