2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · C2 MOT

The 2025‑09‑01 MOT at 142,078 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest test. Since the 2022‑07‑18 failure, each subsequent test has cleared all items, indicating a stable maintenance record with no recurring failures to date. The mileage trajectory shows rapid accumulation: from 78,801 miles in July 2022 to 96,491 miles by September 2023 represents an increase of 17,690 miles in 14 months, followed by 25,811 miles to 122,302 miles by September 2024 and a further 19,776 miles to the current 142,078 miles by September 2025. This equates to roughly 17,760 miles per year, well above the average for a vehicle of this age and suggesting intensive use that accelerates wear on consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, verify the condition of the rear brake pads and discs, and examine the registration plate lamp circuit, as these items were flagged in the 2022 test and have not been addressed in subsequent reports. Particular attention to structural rust around the wheel arches, chassis rails and underbody is advisable, given the high mileage, while tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and fluid levels should be checked as routine consumable items.
