2015 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · AF65 NTK

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 July 2025 at 136,943 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual examinations show the same clean outcome. The vehicle has cleared every successful MOT without advisories, indicating no outstanding mechanical or structural concerns logged by DVSA testers across the visible history. Mileage stands at 136,943 against an August 2015 build, averaging roughly 12,449 miles per year which is high for the age but consistent with light commercial use. The record shows 109,678 miles in August 2022, 121,571 in August 2023, 132,606 in August 2024, and 136,943 in July 2025. Accumulation ran near 12,000 miles annually then dropped to just over 4,300 between mid 2024 and mid 2025, suggesting reduced operating tempo in the final year. No gaps exceed thirteen months. One anomaly warrants scrutiny. The test on 21 August 2024 at 132,605 miles failed with no defects recorded, then passed cleanly the next day at 132,606 miles. This points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, yet a buyer should confirm the failure reason via the full DVSA certificate. The immediate pass implies any raised item was trivial or corrected before re-test. Given the absence of flagged wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and drivetrain condition. High mileage vans of this era commonly develop play in steering joints and fatigue in subframe mounts not always caught in a pass-only test. Verify service history to corroborate the odometer and confirm consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were replaced outside the MOT cycle.
