2020 Volkswagen Transporter T32 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · DP69 WUA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 January 2026 at 115,908 miles. However, the maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive. The Transporter failed a test just two days prior at 115,907 miles due to an offside front tyre with exposed cords and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. While these issues were rectified immediately, the failure suggests that the owner only addresses essential safety components when forced by a tester. The mileage accumulation is significant for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 19,300 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 77,717 miles and the January 2025 test at 97,885 miles, the vehicle covered 20,168 miles in twelve months. This high usage indicates consistent heavy use, which places accelerated strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system. The consistent annual testing intervals show the vehicle is in regular use rather than sitting for long periods. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components given the high mileage. The record noted thin front brake pads at 58,490 miles in 2023, and with the current mileage now double that, the discs and calipers are likely nearing the end of their life. You should also inspect the control arm bushes and shock absorbers for signs of tearing or leaking, as these frequently fail prematurely on high-mileage Transporters. Check for any structural corrosion on the chassis and underbody, although no structural advisories have been noted yet, the high mileage increases the likelihood of wear exposure to road salts.
