VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2016 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 with 168,999 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following a brief mechanical setback in late 2024. The two most recent tests show no defects, indicating that the vehicle is currently maintained in a condition that meets minimum safety and environmental standards despite the high-mileage nature of the engine. The mileage profile reflects heavy use for a ten-year-old transporter, averaging approximately 16,900 miles per annum. A significant period of intensive operation occurred between December 2023 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered 33,464 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation is evident in the three MOT tests conducted in December 2024, where the vehicle travelled 173 miles between the first and second tests. This suggests the vehicle was likely used for long-distance commuting or commercial purposes, which places consistent strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus inspection on the exhaust emissions failure recorded on 9 December 2024 at 136,929 miles. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the initial failure for exceeding the 0.7m-1 limit suggests potential issues with fuel mixture or the diesel particulate filter health. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection of the turbocharger and exhaust system is essential to ensure no further degradation occurs. The record does not highlight structural corrosion or brake issues, but the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear-related fatigue.
