2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · NX16 APU

The most recent MOT on 13 April 2026 at 16,268 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle meets current roadworthiness standards and that the maintenance trend has remained stable since the previous successful test in April 2025. The mileage trajectory shows a low annual average of roughly 1,627 miles for a ten‑year‑old van, yet the record reveals rapid accumulation between January 2024 and April 2025, rising from 6,095 miles to 13,762 miles, before stabilising again in the latest test. Earlier entries from 2020 to 2021 show consistent low mileage with no intervening tests, suggesting periods of limited use or extended standing. Recurring issues flagged in the history include an engine oil leak noted in the 2020 and 2025 tests, and a supplementary restraint system warning lamp in the January 2024 test, indicating potential sensor or wiring faults. A buyer should therefore inspect the engine oil system for active leaks, examine the SRS wiring and sensor connections, and assess the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and pads for wear or corrosion, as well as the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for rust. Given the recent clean MOT and low mileage, the van appears roadworthy provided the identified oil leak and SRS warning are resolved, but a thorough physical inspection focusing on the aforementioned mechanical and structural components is essential before final purchase.
