2012 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · AL02 CKG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 19 March 2026 at 133,741 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently met passing standards following previous failures. While the vehicle failed a test on 5 March 2026 at 132,728 miles, the subsequent pass-off just two weeks later indicates that the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate roadworthiness defects to maintain legal operation. The mileage profile is consistent with a 14-year-old Transporter, averaging approximately 9,553 miles per annum. There was a significant period of use covering 17,664 miles between March 2024 and February 2025, followed by another rapid accumulation of 17,934 miles in the year leading up to the March 2026 test. This pattern suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of seals and mechanical components, though it places consistent demand on consumable wear items. The record lacks specific defect details for the failures in March 2024 and 2026, but the frequency of these tests suggests the vehicle may be nearing component replacement intervals. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points, which are common failure areas for this era. Given the mileage, a close examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and condition of the brake discs is necessary to ensure that no underlying mechanical issues are masking deeper wear that the MOT tester did not capture.
