2020 Volkswagen Transporter T32 H-Line TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · 67 KAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with tyres and suspension components. The most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 41,126 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a nearside front tyre having a cut reaching the cords. While the vehicle passed after this rectification, the tester flagged light misting of oil on the offside front shock absorber, indicating the beginning of a seal failure that will eventually require component replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,854 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 26,065 miles and the June 2024 test at 33,439 miles, the vehicle covered 7,374 miles. This steady usage suggests regular driving cycles which generally prevents Seizing issues in the drivetrain and braking system, though the record of perished tyres in 2023 indicates the van may have sat stationary despite the low annual mileage. A buyer should personally inspect the offside front shock absorber to determine if the misting has progressed to a significant leak that would compromise damping performance. Given the history of damage to tyre sidewalls across 2023, 2024, and 2025, a thorough check of all four tyres is necessary to identify any hidden cuts or dry cracking. The previous failure for perished rubber suggests the buyer should verify the current tyres have not suffered from age despite the relatively low use.
