2012 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · YE61 AEX

This Volkswagen Transporter presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent test on 2 April 2026 at 107,294 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a trend of clean certificates dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets all DVSA safety and environmental requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's 14-year age. It covered 7,787 miles between April 2025 and April 2026, and 5,328 miles in the preceding year. A minor anomaly appears on 4 April 2024, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day with only an 8-mile difference in recorded mileage. While the record lists no specific defects for this failure, such an occurrence usually indicates a minor oversight or a quick-fix item resolved on-site. The absence of advisories across multiple years is uncommon for a commercial vehicle of this vintage. There are no recorded trends of failing suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues. The lack of mentioned structural rust or chassis degradation in the MOT history is a positive indicator for a 2012 model. A physical inspection should still focus on common Transporter wear points that MOT testers may overlook if they do not impact immediate safety. Check the condition of the cambelt and water pump service intervals, as these are critical engine components not covered by a standard MOT. Inspect the clutch pedal feel and gear transitions to ensure the drivetrain remains healthy despite the 107,294 miles of use.
