2015 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · BC11 BEN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑09 recorded a pass with no defects at 103,135 miles. The immediate pre‑ceding test in September 2024 had flagged a stop‑lamp fault and a nearside rear tyre with uneven inner‑edge wear, both of which have been rectified. The pattern shows a stable maintenance trend, with the recent failure resolved and the latest test returning a clean bill of health. Mileage accumulation aligns with the typical usage for an 11‑year‑old van. Over the 11‑year span the odometer advanced 103,135 miles, averaging roughly 9,400 miles per year. The jump from 95,108 miles in May 2024 to 96,506 miles in September 2024 represents a 1,398‑mile increase in four months, while the subsequent month saw only a 22‑mile rise before the pass at 103,135 miles. MOT entries are recorded annually with only minor gaps, providing a fairly complete usage picture. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear‑brake assembly closely. The 2022 test noted thin rear inner pads, and the 2024 failure referenced a stop‑lamp that stayed on after brake release, indicating possible wiring or lamp switch wear. The nearside rear tyre’s uneven inner‑edge wear suggests suspension or alignment issues; a visual check of the tyre condition and a ride‑height inspection are advisable. Brake‑fluid level was noted close to the minimum in 2019, so a fluid‑level and condition check is warranted. Emissions have consistently been low, but a quick exhaust‑system scan can confirm no hidden faults. Finally, a thorough under‑body inspection for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and chassis rails, will reveal any structural rust that may not yet be reflected in the MOT record.
