2015 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 72,188 miles passed, the tester flagged a severely deteriorated nearside inner drive shaft constant velocity boot. This follows a pattern from March 2025 where the same component caused a failure due to a split leaking grease, suggesting that previous owners only addressed critical mechanical faults once they reached a point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance during scheduled intervals. At 72,188 miles, the Transporter has averaged approximately 6,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 3,500 miles covered between January 2024 and March 2025, and another 3,500 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy hauling, though the age still means that rubber components and seals may degrade over time. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and drivetrain components. The 2023 record highlighted thin brake pads and pitted discs across both axles, along with deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers. While these items were noted years ago, the recurring failure of CV boots indicates that the drive joints are prone to wear or ingress. The buyer should also verify the security of the fuel tank cover, which was noted as insecure in 2025, and ensure the windscreen washer and registration plates have been properly replaced to avoid further compliance issues.
