2015 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · DA55 GAS

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 117,165 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior four years. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 10,650 miles, consistent with typical use for an eleven-year-old van. The record shows steady accumulation: 80,651 miles at the 2 August 2022 test, rising to 93,197 by 18 August 2023, 106,626 by 19 August 2024, and 117,165 by August 2025. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories or recorded faults across any test. A failed entry on 18 August 2023 at 93,197 miles carries no defect listing, with a pass logged the same day, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of flagged items, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable and structural components the MOT does not deeply assess. Examine brake disc thickness, suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion for age-related fatigue not captured by a pass result. Verify service history independently, as the clean MOT trail implies basic statutory upkeep was met but reveals nothing of intermediate maintenance. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent on a 2015 vehicle approaching 120,000 miles.
