2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Highline TDI 2.0L Diesel · WG21 AFX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend has shifted from a clean record to one requiring immediate attention. The most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 30,386 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged several advisories regarding consumables. Both front and rear brake pads are wearing thin, and both front tyres are worn close to the legal limit on the outer edges. The mileage is typical for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,077 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 22,835 miles in April 2024 to 30,386 miles by September 2025. This consistent usage pattern suggests the van has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished seals. A buyer must prioritise the replacement of the front tyres and brake pads. The outer edge wear on the front tyres suggests a potential tracking or alignment issue that needs correction to prevent premature wear on new rubber. The brake wear is a documented trend; the April 2024 test noted pads at approximately 60 to 65 percent wear, and they have now reached a critical state. Beyond the consumables, the absence of any structural corrosion, suspension failure, or exhaust emissions issues across three tests is positive. The clean pass in September 2024 indicates the vehicle was in excellent mechanical health mid-life. Focus the physical inspection on the brake disc thickness and wheel alignment to ensure the recent advisories are resolved.
