2015 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · AE65 THN

The vehicle passed the latest MOT on 13 August 2025 at 127,173 miles, with only a minor advisory about slight movement in the off‑side and near‑side front lower arm suspension bushes, indicating a stable maintenance trend that has not deteriorated since the 2021 test. The odometer has risen from 63,059 miles in August 2018 to 127,173 miles in August 2025, an average annual increase of about 11,560 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a 2015 model. The annual testing interval is consistent, with no extended periods of inactivity evident between the 2018 and 2025 entries, and the only notable mileage jump occurred between the 2018 failure and the 2019 pass at the same reading, suggesting prompt remedial work. A buyer should examine the front lower suspension arms and bushes for excessive play, verify the condition of the steering rack inner joints for the reported off‑side front play, and inspect the rear brake pads and tyre for wear, given the 2018 advisory on thin pads and bulging tyre. Particular attention should also be paid to any signs of structural rust where the engine and near‑side undershields are missing, and to the functionality of the windscreen wipers, which previously failed to clear the glass effectively. While the recent MOT confirms current roadworthiness, the recurring suspension and steering advisories, combined with past brake and tyre issues, imply that the vehicle requires careful verification of these components during a physical inspection to ensure long‑term reliability.
