2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · T6 EKL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 32,864 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive preventative care. While the vehicle successfully cleared the latest test, the history shows recurring wear-related advisories that suggest the previous owner only addresses components once they reach a failure threshold or an advisory limit. At eight years old, the 32,864 miles represent an annual average of approximately 4,100 miles, which is significantly below the norm for a Volkswagen Transporter. The mileage accumulation is consistent year to year, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 2,800 miles between June 2025 and 2026. This low usage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion, which aligns with the mechanical issues noted in the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the June 2025 test flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. Although these did not result in a failure at the time, they are a known point of wear on this chassis. The offside front brake disc was also noted as pitted and scored in April 2023; the buyer must verify if these were replaced or if they currently suffer from surface corrosion from low-mileage use. Tyre condition requires close attention as the June 2026 test identified an offside rear tyre worn to 3.0mm with edge wear, following a similar advisory for a nearside rear tyre in 2024. This pattern of uneven wear suggests a potential alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures that should be checked to prevent premature replacement of new rubber. No structural corrosion or significant failures have been recorded in the history, which is positive for a vehicle of this age.
