2021 Volkswagen Transporter SE TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · AP21 DYA

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 56,821 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 10 May 2025 at 51,060 miles confirms the vehicle entered its current ownership cycle in sound condition. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the supplied record, indicating no worsening pattern of wear or recurring failure across the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 56,821 against a five-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 11,364 miles per year and reflecting typical annual use for this model. The progression from 41,171 miles on 20 June 2024 to 51,060 miles by May 2025 shows about 9,900 miles in eleven months, then a further 5,761 miles to August 2025. The data is sparse but clean, with no rapid accumulation that would flag abnormal drivetrain or suspension loading. The two failed tests on 20 June 2024 and 9 May 2025 both list no defects, implying administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of core wear items despite the clear MOT history. The absence of advisories means tyre tread depth, brake disc wear, and suspension bush condition were within limits but unmeasured for the buyer. Given the Transporter's commercial derivation, check the rear load floor and sill structure for corrosion and verify the DSG gearbox fluid history, as the S-A transmission is absent from MOT scope yet critical to longevity. The record implies previous keepers maintained statutory testing discipline, with no skipped years and no outstanding minor consumable neglect such as wiper blades or lamps. The clean run from 2024 onwards suggests basic upkeep was met, though the twin no-defect failures warrant a check of the V5C to confirm no concealed pre-test rectification.
