2015 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · PF64 ABZ

The 2026‑01‑20 MOT demonstrates that the vehicle is not fully roadworthy, as it passed with minor items but also recorded a failure due to ABS and ESC warning lamps, indicating persistent electronic faults. The repeated failure on the same date and the earlier 2025 failure show that the ABS and ESC issues have not been resolved, suggesting an unstable maintenance trend rather than a one‑off defect. The odometer now reads 35,855 miles on a 2015 model, equating to roughly 3,100 miles per year, a moderate figure that is obscured by a dramatic jump from 15,827 miles in early 2020 to 190,108 miles in March 2021, a discrepancy likely caused by an odometer error or an unrecorded period of heavy use. The absence of MOT records between 2022 and 2024 suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for extended intervals, which can accelerate rust and affect the reliability of the mileage trend. A buyer should therefore inspect the ABS system, checking wheel speed sensors, wiring and the pump, and verify that the ESC control module and its sensors are functioning correctly. The edge‑wear patterns on the tyres and the perishing tread noted in 2021 point to possible suspension bush wear, mis‑aligned wheels or damaged suspension components, so a detailed examination of bushes, ball joints and steering linkage is essential. Extensive rust on the exhaust silencer and outer skin indicates structural corrosion that may have spread to the chassis, requiring a thorough check of the underbody, floor pans and mounting points. Finally, the TPMS malfunction and the recurring registration plate deterioration, while cosmetic, suggest broader neglect of ancillary systems and should be confirmed during a physical inspection.
