2013 VOLKSWAGEN TPORTER T28 TLINE 102 TDI SWB2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 14 December 2025 at 196,550 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards. While a momentary failure occurred on 03 December 2024 at 190,447 miles, the owner rectified the issues immediately to secure a pass just eight days later. This suggests a proactive approach to addressing mechanical failures once identified. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity usage for a 13-year-old van, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and December 2024, the vehicle covered 12,805 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern rather than long periods of standing. This high mileage often implies that components have been used regularly, which can prevent the degradation associated with stationary vehicles. However, the total figure of nearly 200,000 miles places significant stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension assembly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas most susceptible to high-mileage commercial wear. Given the lack of recent advisories, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential, as these often fatigue under constant heavy loads. The braking system should be examined for signs of binding calipers or thin discs, as high-frequency driving can lead to accelerated heat-related wear. Finally, the structural integrity of the chassis must be inspected for corrosion, specifically ensuring that the high mileage and age have not compromised the frame of the vehicle.
