2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Highline TDI 2.0L Diesel · DE71 VSJ

The official MOT history for this Volkswagen Transporter T28 shows a pass at the most recent test on 4 December 2025 at the recorded mileage, with no advisories or defects logged. The prior test, dated 25 November 2024, also recorded a pass with no defects or advisories. Two consecutive clean passes is a positive baseline, although it is worth noting that the document is very short and provides limited data from which to draw any wider conclusions about long-term mechanical trends. The absence of any failure points means there is no immediate safety-related concern flagged by the DVSA on record, but a clean MOT pass is not a guarantee of underlying mechanical condition. Mileage progression for this five-year-old van sits at roughly 6,340 miles per year based on the 31,698 figure shown, which is broadly in line with typical usage for a vehicle of this type. With only two MOT entries supplied, it is not possible to chart annual mileage accumulation or confirm whether the vehicle has covered any notably long standing periods. The current MOT is valid until late November 2026, giving the next owner a full year before the next statutory test is due, which provides some breathing room for any in-person inspection or remedial work. Given the sparsity of the recorded history, a physical inspection should still be carried out. For a Transporter of this age and mileage, particular attention should be paid to the rear suspension, including coil springs, dampers and bushes, as these are commonly worn items on converted or load-carrying variants. The braking system, including discs, pads, calipers and rear slider mechanisms, should be checked for wear and any signs of binding or uneven corrosion on the disc surfaces. A thorough examination of the underside and structural areas for corrosion, especially around sills, wheel arches, cross members and the battery tray, is sensible in any used Transporter. Finally, confirm the service book and any invoices to verify that routine items such as cambelt or timing chain service, oil changes and DSG or manual gearbox fluid have been attended to on schedule, as the MOT record alone does not confirm these maintenance tasks.
