2010 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · D3 LSY

The 2010 Volkswagen Transporter presented on 21 May 2026 at 67,405 miles passed its MOT with no defects recorded, indicating a stable condition at the time of testing. Across the most recent five annual tests the vehicle has shown no new advisories, and previously noted faults have not progressed, suggesting the maintenance record reflects a stable mechanical state. The mileage progression from 45,535 miles in March 2018 to 67,405 miles in May 2026 averages about 4,200 miles per year, a figure consistent with light usage for a sixteen‑year‑old van. Tests have been conducted annually in May, with incremental increases of roughly 1,000 to 4,000 miles each year, and no long gaps are evident in the record. The low annual mileage may reflect periods of standing, but the steady accumulation supports regular, modest use rather than abrupt high‑stress operation. Recurring observations include edge wear on off‑side and nearside front tyres, which often points to mis‑aligned suspension or worn bushings, and occasional brake disc pitting that can signal binding calipers or uneven pad wear. Exhaust corrosion has appeared in multiple tests, particularly on the rear box, indicating possible moisture ingress or aging of the system, and registration plate lamp failures and intermittent side‑cover fittings suggest wiring or mounting issues that merit visual verification. A buyer should therefore inspect tyre alignment, brake caliper operation, and the condition of the exhaust and mounting brackets in person, while confirming that no hidden rust or structural damage is present. The vehicle’s recent clean MOT supports roadworthiness, but the historical pattern of wear warrants a thorough physical check before purchase.
