2014 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · AF14 FOK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the history showing minor consumable issues rather than recurring mechanical failures. The most recent test at 86,631 miles resulted in an advisory for a nearside rear tyre with uneven wear and 2.8mm of tread, which is above the legal limit but indicates the component is nearing the end of its operational life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 73,587 miles and the 2026 test at 86,631 miles, the van covered 13,044 miles, suggesting steady and regular use rather than long periods of inactivity which can lead to seal degradation or brake corrosion. The lack of defects in the 2025 test indicates the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard during those intervals. A buyer should inspect the wheel alignment in person, as the uneven wear noted on the nearside rear tyre in March 2026 often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking. While the record is clean of structural rust or brake system failures, the age of the Transporter warrants a physical check for corrosion on the sills and mounting arches. Given the previous history of a nail in a tyre in 2024, a thorough inspection of the remaining tyres for sidewall damage or uneven wear is advisable before purchase.
