2018 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.0L Diesel

The 2026‑01‑14 MOT at 51,610 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged near‑side and off‑side front tyres as worn close to the legal limit (5.2.3 (e)). Apart from these tyre advisories, no structural, brake, suspension or emission failures were recorded, indicating a stable maintenance record with no evident worsening of mechanical condition. Mileage has risen from 28,110 miles in January 2021 to 51,610 miles in January 2026, an average annual increase of about 6,450 miles, which aligns with the typical usage for an eight‑year‑old Transporter. The annual testing interval is regular, with no prolonged periods of inactivity evident between the 2022 and 2026 entries. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the items highlighted by recurring tyre wear – checking tyre tread depth, wheel alignment and the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs – as well as the previously noted rear wheel distortion (5.2.2 (c) (i)) and the 2022 tyre cut, which suggest possible impacts or curb damage. Inspection of the brake discs and calipers for binding, the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion, and the structural integrity of the chassis and body panels is also advisable, given the absence of major mechanical failures in recent tests.
