2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · LM66 BKD

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy following its most recent passed MOT on 19 September 2025 at 70,212 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, showing clean passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Two failed tests on the same dates as passes in 2023 and 2025, both at identical mileages and with no defects listed, point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. No worsening or recurring mechanical problems are evidenced in the record. The van has covered 70,212 miles over roughly ten years, averaging about 7,021 miles annually, which is typical for a 2016 light commercial vehicle. Mileage progression is steady: 54,711 miles at the October 2023 test, 62,071 miles by October 2024, and 70,212 miles by September 2025. This reflects consistent moderate use with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. The sparse, clean record gives little insight into consumable wear cycles, though the absence of advisories suggests previous owners addressed items before testing or the vehicle saw gentle service. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the Transporter's age and commercial loading profile. The MOT data flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet standing periods implied by low annual mileage can conceal underbody rust on chassis members. Verify the twin 2023 and 2025 fail-pass entries with DVSA to confirm they were clerical and not masked defects. Check tyre tread depth and wiper condition in person, as these consumables fall outside the clean advisory history and may now require replacement. The drivetrain shows no recorded faults, but a road test should confirm clutch and gearbox operation under load before purchase.
