2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · CA18 AEG

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 3 October 2025 at 61,742 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the recorded history. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed the test on 26 September 2025 at 61,561 miles, yet the record cites no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a genuine fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,700 miles per year against the 2018 build date, a typical usage profile for this model. The gap between the 8 September 2023 test at 48,433 miles and the 4 October 2024 failure at 54,909 miles shows about 6,500 miles covered in thirteen months. From October 2024 to October 2025 the van added only 6,833 miles. The clean record with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion points to light commercial use and consistent test attendance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the Transporter's steel chassis susceptibility at eight years old. The repeated clean passes mean no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emission breaches were flagged, but the two failure entries with zero defects warrant confirmation that the DVSA records reflect no suppressed minor consumable wear such as wiper blades or lamp faults. Verify the V5C and test certificates for the September 2025 and October 2024 failures to establish why the tester issued no defect codes. Absent any logged advisories, the mechanical outlook is sound, though standing periods implied by lower annual mileage can conceal perished rubber components not caught in a static test.
