2020 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · AM14 DAR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift towards mechanical wear after a period of clean records. While the van passed its test on 2 July 2026 at 120,378 miles, it initially failed initially due to lighting alignment and suspension issues. The appearance of a worn offside front wheel bearing and a worn nearside rear inner anti-roll bar bush suggests that the suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life due to high usage. The mileage profile reflects heavy use for a six-year-old transporter, averaging over 20,000 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 76,985 miles and July 2026 at 120,378 miles, the vehicle covered over 43,000 miles. This rapid accumulation puts significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension assemblies. However, the lack of any advisories between 2023 and 2025 indicates that the vehicle was well-maintained during that interval despite the high annual mileage. A buyer must inspect the offside front wheel bearing personally to determine the extent of the play, as slight movement often precedes total failure and audible hub noise. The nearside rear anti-roll bar bush also requires close attention for further tearing or degradation, which can affect handling precision and stability. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs, caliper seals, and control arm bushings is essential, as these components are likely subjected to significant wear on a vehicle used at this frequency.
