2018 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status having passed its most recent MOT on 10 January 2026 at 81,133 miles without any defects. The maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle has returned to a clean record following a previous failure. While a failure occurred regarding a fractured offside rear coil spring in February 2025, the subsequent pass indicates that the owner addressed the mechanical fault promptly. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old transporter, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 23,658 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. The gap of 8,983 miles between the February 2024 and February 2025 tests suggests regular annual use, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and preventing the deactivation-related issues often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly, specifically checking the offside rear coil spring that failed in 2025 to ensure there are no signs of premature corrosion or fatigue. The 2023 advisory regarding both rear tyres being worn to the legal limit on the edge necessitates a check of the wheel alignment and geometry to ensure the vehicle is not causing uneven wear. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, a close inspection of the chassis for structural rust remains standard practice, although the MOT record does not currently flag any integrity concerns.
