Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a relatively modern Transporter with a clean recent history. The absence of defects in its most recent MOT tests suggests a vehicle that has met regulatory standards without immediate mechanical failures.
When inspecting this 1.9L diesel Transporter, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. Since the MOTs in 2024 and 2025 showed no defects, you should check if the scheduled manufacturer intervals have been met, particularly for the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and timing components common in these engines.
Negotiate based on the specific equipment level of the Highline trim and any additional aftermarket additions common to these vans. Ensure that the grey paintwork and body panels are free from the typical wear often seen on commercial vehicles, even if the MOT history does not record structural defects.
As a 1968cc diesel, this Transporter is designed for efficiency over long distances, though running costs will depend heavily on load and driving style. Tax bands for 2021 models vary based on CO2 emissions, so check the specific VED rate for this registration.
Insurance groups for Highline models can be moderate to high depending on the driver's profile. Expect typical maintenance costs for a Volkswagen commercial vehicle, including periodic oil changes and brake inspections. Estimated annual costs will fluctuate based on annual mileage.
While the MOT history for DE71VSJ shows no recorded defects for the 2024 and 2025 tests, you should still perform a physical inspection of the underside for signs of corrosion or wear that may not have triggered a failure. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are common items that can lead to future MOT advisories.
Pay close attention to the diesel engine's performance and listen for any unusual noises that might indicate issues with the turbocharger or fuel system. Given the vehicle's role as a T28, inspect the suspension and load-carrying components for signs of heavy usage.
This 2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Highline TDI is a late-registration diesel model with 31,699 miles recorded at its last MOT in December 2025. The vehicle has a consistent MOT record with two consecutive passes in late 2024 and late 2025, both showing no defects. Given its age and mileage, it represents a modern example of the T28 series in a grey finish.
No aggregate MOT data is currently available to provide a statistical reliability profile for the Volkswagen Transporter T28 Highline TDI.
