2010 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · RJ60 ADV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on December 4 2025 at 130,743 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a curious pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both December 2024 and December 2025, the vehicle failed the test on the first attempt but passed the very next day. This suggests the previous owners addressed specific, reactive faults only when prompted by a test failure rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. At sixteen years of age, the recorded 130,743 miles represent an average annual run of approximately 8,171 miles. This aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial Transporter. The data shows consistent annual progression, with roughly 6,600 miles covered between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, and another 6,600 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of standing, which often benefits the condition of seals and mechanical components. The lack of recorded defects or advisories in the most recent tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically checking the sills, floor pans, and mounting points where corrosion is common on the T5 generation. Given the history of failures without recorded reasons in the digital log, the inspector should verify the suspension bushes for wear, check the brake calipers for binding, and examine the exhaust system for excessive rust to ensure the clean MOT record reflects the actual mechanical state of the van.
