2012 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 11 February 2026 at 107,114 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, where mechanical wear and tear were identified. The transition from advisories in 2025 to a clean sheet suggests that the previous owner addressed the necessary repairs and replacements flagged during the earlier inspection cycle. At 107,114 miles over 14 years, the Transporter averages approximately 7,650 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent activity, with 3,436 miles covered between the February 2025 and February 2026, and nearly 2,300 miles between November 2023 and February 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly enough to prevent the types of component degradation often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the braking system, as the 2025 test flagged pitted and scored rear discs alongside thin pads. While these were likely replaced before the 2026 test, the buyer should verify the calipers are not binding and check for uneven wear across the rotors. The 2022 failure involving a missing wheel fixing and a structural tyre tear indicates a past lapse in basic safety checks, so a thorough inspection of all wheel bolts and the sidewalls of the current tyres is essential to ensure no similar issues remain.
