2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · CT18 AJO

The 2018 Volkswagen Transporter presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the 4 July 2025 test at 56,573 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual examination from July 2022 through to July 2025 returning a pass or a same-week retest clear of faults. The only anomaly is the failure logged on 2 July 2025 at identical mileage of 56,573, which the DVSA entry lists with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, corrected two days later. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 7,072 miles per year against an eight-year life. The records show steady accumulation: 35,490 miles at the 6 July 2022 test, 43,189 by 4 July 2023, 50,721 by 9 July 2024, and 56,573 by July 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence, and the clean slate of advisories across all five entries means the history is sparse on flagged wear but free of recurring consumable or structural concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and light use pattern, as standing periods can mask corrosion or stiffening not captured in a pass result. The absence of any recorded advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity suggests prior keepers kept the van to a basic test-standard threshold rather than proactive renewal. Verify the 2 July 2025 failure reason with DVSA paperwork before purchase, since a no-defect fail often points to a documentation mismatch. Beyond that, the Transporter's record implies disciplined, low-stress use with no worsening mechanical trend to date.
