2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · DS68 AAJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-25 at 123,711 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-04-12 (113,417 miles) and 2023-04-26 (103,724 miles) also passed without issues, though a failure on 2024-04-11 at 113,416 miles—despite no recorded defects—suggests potential procedural or technical anomalies. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the history, but the absence of advisories does not preclude underlying wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 123,711 miles over eight years equates to an average of 15,464 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT record, such as the 10,293-mile span between 2023-04-26 (103,724 miles) and 2024-04-12 (113,417 miles), may indicate irregular servicing or infrequent testing. This pattern, combined with the high annual average, increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on consumables like brake pads, tyres, and suspension components, even if no defects were flagged. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which can emerge under heavy use. The exhaust system and corrosion on underbody panels should also be scrutinised, as these are common issues in older vehicles with elevated mileage. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s usage profile warrants a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm its mechanical integrity.
