2012 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · CE62 NWL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last four years. The most recent MOT test on 5 August 2025 at 131,358 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure for an inoperative registration plate lamp, which was clearly rectified immediately. Prior to this, the Transporter achieved three consecutive annual passes without any recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety-critical components have remained within acceptable operating parameters. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 107,968 miles and August 2025 at 131,358 miles, the vehicle covered 23,390 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 7,800 miles per annum during that period. There are no significant gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest the vehicle sat for long periods or was subjected to excessively heavy-duty commercial cycles recently. Despite the clean history regarding mechanical failures, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection of common wear points for a Transporter of this age and mileage. Focus on the structural integrity of the chassis rails and sills for signs of deep corrosion, as the MOT only flags surface rust once it reaches a structural threshold. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade as the vehicle approaches the 130,000-mile mark. Additionally, verify the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs, as the lack of advisories in the record does not guarantee the remaining life of these consumable items.
