2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · AK71 FYR

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 18 June 2026 at 72 920 miles, recording only a minor offside rear tyre advisory (5.2.3(d)(ii)). The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement: a serious failure on 6 October 2025 at 60 805 miles – offside front shock absorber fluid leak, deep rear tyre cut, thin front brake pads and inner‑edge front tyre wear – was rectified and the same day re‑tested successfully. The latest test indicates those critical issues have been resolved and the car now presents a stable, roadworthy condition with only low‑level consumable wear. Mileage accumulation between the recorded points is pronounced. From 44 498 miles on 22 October 2024 to 72 920 miles on 18 June 2026 the vehicle gained 28 422 miles in roughly sixteen months, averaging about 21 500 miles per year. This rate exceeds the typical usage pattern for a five‑year‑old transporter and points to heavy duty operation, placing greater stress on suspension, brakes and drivetrain components. The MOT record is well‑spaced, with a clear test at 60 805 miles in October 2025, so there are no significant data gaps. A buyer should inspect the rear offside tyre for cracking or perishing, verify that the front shock absorber shows no fluid leak, and measure front brake pad thickness to confirm the earlier thin‑pad issue has been addressed. The inner‑edge wear on the front offside tyre warrants a suspension geometry check and inspection of steering linkage and wheel bearing condition. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and look for any chassis corrosion or rust, especially given the high mileage and the previous deep tyre cut. Finally, confirm that the repairs noted in the October 2025 failure have been completed to DVSA standards, ensuring the vehicle remains reliable for continued use.
