2015 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · CP65 KKG

The 2015 Volkswagen Transporter presents a stable but chronically flagged roadworthiness profile as of its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 109,387 miles. The vehicle has passed every recorded test, yet a recurring pattern of minor suspension and seat belt advisories suggests the previous keeper addressed only immediate failures rather than underlying wear. The latest test flagged worn nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes that had not yet resulted in excessive movement, alongside a missing nearside front seat belt buckle cover. These are not new defects. They are a continuation of advisories first noted in December 2022 and repeated in every subsequent test, indicating the deterioration is being monitored but not permanently rectified. The maintenance trend is stable in the sense that the vehicle remains legally roadworthy, but the persistent nature of these advisories points to a reactive rather than proactive ownership approach. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. From 78,448 miles in December 2021 to 109,387 miles in December 2025, the van accumulated roughly 30,939 miles over four years, averaging around 7,735 miles annually during that period. The earlier years appear slightly lighter, with the van reaching 87,920 miles by December 2022 and 96,065 by December 2023. The annual figure of approximately 9,944 miles across the vehicle's full lifespan sits within the typical range for a working van of this age. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the record that would suggest long periods of disuse or odometer irregularities. The MOT entries fall at roughly annual intervals each December, which is consistent with a single annual test cycle and implies regular use rather than neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension components that have drawn repeated advisories across four consecutive tests. The nearside and offside front suspension arm rear bushes have been flagged as worn since at least December 2022, when the van had covered 87,920 miles. By the December 2025 test at 109,387 miles, these components had deteriorated further but still fell short of the excessive movement threshold that would constitute a failure. This is a component that degrades progressively. A buyer should check for play in the front suspension by examining the bush condition directly and testing for knocking or vagueness over uneven surfaces. The seat belt advisories also warrant attention. The nearside front seat belt buckle was flagged as missing in December 2024, and by December 2025 the buckle itself was present but the cover was missing. The offside front seat belt flexible stalk had a damaged outer casing noted in December 2022. These are minor in isolation but suggest the interior has not been maintained with care, and a full functional check of both seat belt assemblies is advisable. Beyond the flagged items, the van's age and working life mean a thorough underbody inspection is essential. At nearly eleven years old with just under 110,000 miles, structural corrosion around suspension mounting points, brake lines, and the exhaust system should be examined carefully. The recurring suspension bush wear also implies the brake discs, pads, and tyres may have experienced uneven loading, so a check of braking components and tyre condition would be prudent. The MOT record shows no emissions or braking failures, which is encouraging, but the pattern of tolerated advisories suggests a buyer should verify that consumable items have been replaced on a regular cycle rather than only when legally required.
