2012 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · DG12 WRV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass in November 2025 at 257,093 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement compared to the failures seen in 2023 and 2024. While earlier tests revealed reactive mechanical repairs and consumable neglect, the two most recent inspections indicate that the current owner is actively addressing identified faults and maintaining the vehicle to a standard without recorded defects. At 14 years old, the recorded 257,093 miles represent a high usage profile, averaging over 18,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, heavy use, with example, the 9,571 miles covered between November 2023 and October 2024. This rapid mileage accumulation suggests the Transporter is likely used for commercial or long-distance transit purposes, which places significantly higher stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry, as the history notes a fractured nearside front coil spring in 2023. The recurring issues with uneven tyre wear in both 2023 and 2024 suggest potential alignment problems or worn suspension bushes that require a close check. Given the high mileage and the previous failure for exposed offside rear tyre cords in late 2024, a thorough evaluation of the remaining tyres and the structural integrity of the chassis is essential to ensure no hidden fatigue has occurred.
