2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · DK66 TSO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 110,561 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior that identified multiple critical mechanical faults. The presence of fractured rear coil springs, severely worn brake pads, and an inoperative engine management light during the December 2025 failure suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they result in an official test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old transporter, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 87,498 miles and the 2024 test at 99,717 miles, the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles, indicating steady usage typical for a commercial vehicle. However, the data shows a recurring failure to manage consumable items, specifically tyres, which were flagged as failing or being near the legal limit across three consecutive testing periods from 2024 to 2025. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the record shows recurring issues with fractured springs and worn anti-roll bar linkage bushes. The driver's seat belt webbing has been flagged as damaged since at least 2024, representing a persistent safety concern that remains unaddressed. Furthermore, the suspected exhaust gas leak noted in 2024 and the inoperative engine light reported in 2025 necessitate a professional diagnostic check of the emissions system and manifold joints to ensure there are no deeper engine faults or sensor failures that the MOT test did not fully resolve.
