2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · RJ15 AAC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 October 2025 at 59 322 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement: after two failures in 2021‑2022 involving a rear coil spring fracture and deteriorated suspension dust covers, the subsequent tests from 2022 onward have been clean passes, indicating that the identified issues were addressed and the vehicle has remained defect‑free. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 5 000 – 6 000 miles per year, which aligns with the low‑usage profile typical of a ten‑year‑old vehicle. The gap between the 2021 test (37 742 miles) and the 2022 failure (44 695 miles) reflects normal annual mileage, and the consistent progression to 59 322 miles by 2025 demonstrates no anomalous wear spikes. The record is complete with no unexplained gaps, confirming regular MOT compliance. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear tyre condition closely, checking for cuts, ply exposure, and edge wear that previously triggered failures. The rear coil spring should be examined for fractures or rust, and the front suspension arm ball joint dust covers inspected for tears or deterioration that could allow contamination. Additionally, a visual check of the suspension bushings and brake disc condition is advisable, given the prior suspension component advisories. These targeted inspections will verify that the vehicle’s recent clean MOT status reflects genuine mechanical health rather than latent wear.
