2014 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · YW14 AAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 9 October 2025 at 127,593 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the owner immediately rectified the failures identified just one day prior. That previous failure involved a fractured nearside rear coil spring and a perished offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, which indicates that the current owner is willing to address safety-critical suspension components once flagged rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage progression is consistent with a twelve-year-old Transporter, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 11,619 miles, while it added 9,569 miles in the following year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and brake components, though it places expected wear on rubber bushes and suspension linkages. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues in this area. The October 2023 failure for a nearside rear tyre worn to the edge suggests potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that should be verified against the current tyre wear patterns. Furthermore, while the anti-roll bar joint and coil spring were replaced, the inspector should check for signs of grease leakage or tearing on the remaining rubber boots to ensure the entire suspension is not reaching the end of its service life simultaneously.
