2011 VOLKSWAGEN T2 BRAZILIAN1.4L Petrol

The 2026-07-14 MOT at 47,531 miles resulted in a pass, with only an oil leak (8.4.1 (a) (i)) and defective windscreen wiper blades (3.4 (b) (i)) recorded as defects. Earlier the 2026-07-10 failure at the same mileage listed deep tyre cuts on all four wheels and an imbalanced rear brake condition, showing that serious faults were present before the recent pass. The overall maintenance trend is mixed, with intermittent failures giving way to a recent pass that indicates the vehicle currently meets minimum roadworthiness standards. The recorded mileage averages about 3,169 miles per year, yet the interval from the 2024-07-24 test (41,527 miles) to the 2026-07-14 test shows an increase of 5,004 miles in just over two years, indicating a recent acceleration in usage. Earlier gaps such as the year between the 2020-09-01 and 2021-09-01 tests suggest periods of low activity. A buyer should therefore examine the tyre condition closely, as the 2026-07-10 failure listed deep cuts on all four tyres reaching the ply, and verify that the steering rack free play noted on 2024-07-24 has been corrected, while also checking rear brake balance, suspension bushes, and any signs of structural rust or exhaust leaks that appeared in earlier records. These items correspond to recurring faults highlighted in the MOT history, such as tyre damage, headlamp and dipswitch operation issues, and intermittent brake and exhaust concerns. Although the most recent test confirms roadworthiness, the history of tyre damage, recurring headlamp and dipswitch faults, and intermittent brake and exhaust issues means a detailed physical inspection is essential to confirm that these problems have been fully resolved before purchase.
