Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of the T28 Highlin
Pay close attention to the maintenance history surrounding the January 2026 MOT failure. The recording of tyres of different sizes on the same axle suggests a lapse in professional maintenance that should be questioned. Ensure that the service book is up to date, as the low mileage may mean longer intervals between oil changes, which can impact engine longevity.
Negotiate based on the recurring oil leak advisory. While the MOT tester noted it was 'not excessive' in February 2026, it has appeared in consecutive tests, indicating a persistent issue that may require a gasket or seal replacement.
As a 1968cc Euro 6 diesel, this Transporter offers a balance of torque and efficiency suitable for UK urban and motorway use. Tax will fall under standard light commercial vehicle brackets, and insurance costs will vary based on the Highline trim's higher valuation compared to base models.
Typical maintenance for this engine involves regular oil and filter changes and timing belt inspections. Given the low mileage, annual running costs including fuel, tax, and insurance are estimated to be moderate for a vehicle of this size.
Inspect the offside front of the engine bay and chassis for evidence of the oil leak mentioned in the January and February 2026 MOT tests. Check that the current tyres are of the correct, matching size on both the front and rear axles to ensure the previous failure has been correctly rectified.
Verify that the battery is now securely clamped and that there is no sign of corrosion on the terminals, following the 'insecure battery' failure in early 2026. Finally, check the tread depth of all four tyres, as the vehicle has a history of tyres wearing close to the legal limit.
This blue 2020 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Highline has covered 20,152 miles according to its last MOT record. The vehicle's history includes three passes and one failure in January 2026, which involved tyre and battery issues. A minor oil leak has been noted as an advisory in the two most recent tests.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for this specific T28 Highline TDI variant to provide a broader model comparison.
