2015 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 28,043 miles resulted in a pass despite the front tyres being worn close to the legal limit on both edges. This follows a history of multiple failures and advisories. While the vehicle consistently passes its tests, the recurring tyre-related issues suggest the owner only addresses faults when they fail inspection rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old Transporter, averaging approximately 2,550 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the vehicle covered only 8,386 miles, indicating long periods of stationary time. This low usage pattern often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the repeated tyre cracking and perishing noted in the 2022 and 2023 tests. Static vehicles suffer from dry rot due to age regardless of remaining tread depth. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking systems due to previously flagged faults. The 2022 failure for a severely deteriorated offside lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover indicates that rubber bushes and boots are prone to age cracking. Furthermore, the ABS warning lamp failure in September 2023 at 22,205 miles should be verified to ensure the sensor or module fault was permanently rectified. The recurring uneven wear on the front tyres in the 2025 test also suggests an alignment issue that needs to be checked to prevent premature wear of new rubber.
