2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · BU18 SXM

The vehicle presents a clean MOT history with no recorded defects or advisories across all tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent examination on 9 April 2025 at 58,317 miles returned a pass with no defects noted, though an anomalous fail on the same date and mileage with no defects recorded preceded it, suggesting an administrative rectification rather than a mechanical fault. As of 9 July 2026, that test certificate has expired by three months, so the transporter currently lacks valid roadworthiness certification. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical light commercial use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 36,090 miles at the 26 April 2022 test, rising to 48,174 miles on 20 April 2023, then 55,700 miles on 25 April 2024, and 58,317 miles on 9 April 2025. Annual increments averaged roughly 7,300 miles, reflecting gentle yearly travel and no abrupt high-use periods. The sparse five-entry history contains no gaps beyond the expected yearly cycle and reveals no consumable neglect such as worn tyres or wiper blades. Buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical elements despite the absence of flagged faults. Examine front suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking, assess brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and check structural members and sills for corrosion given the vehicle's 2018 manufacture. The clean record implies prior owners addressed issues preemptively, but eight years of service can conceal latent fatigue not captured in a pass result.
