2014 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · AE14 UDB

The 2014 Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 94,151 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows three consecutive clean passes in March 2025 (90,830 miles), March 2024 (86,377 miles) and March 2023 (81,454 miles). The single failure logged on 4 March 2024 at 86,377 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle was subsequently certified the same day. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old van, averaging roughly 7,846 miles per year against the 94,151 miles now shown. The records show steady, linear accumulation: 81,454 in March 2023, 86,377 in March 2024, 90,830 in March 2025 and 94,151 in March 2026, a gain of around 4,300 to 4,500 miles each year with no gaps or sudden jumps. The MOT data is sparse on advisories, offering no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes or corrosion across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Lack of advisories does not confirm absence of worn coil springs, ageing suspension bushes or surface structural rust beneath the sills and chassis legs, particularly on a Transporter of this age exposed to winter salting. The brake discs, calipers and exhaust emissions should be visually checked for binding or leakage not captured by the pass results. Given the uneventful history and consistent low yearly use, prior keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to a basic road-legal standard. The absence of recurring defects suggests no worsening mechanical trend, though the 2024 same-day fail warrants a DVSA query to confirm it was clerical.
