2014 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · DX64 XBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 44,687 miles secured a pass, it carried multiple advisories regarding pitted and scored brake discs throughout. The trend remains stable in terms of passing the test, but the recurring nature of brake-related issues and suspension failures in previous years suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger a failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Transporter, recording only 44,687 miles which averages to approximately 3,700 miles per year. This low usage often indicates the vehicle sits for extended periods, which correlates with the persistent corrosion and pitting noted on the brake hardware. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the vehicle covered just 2,042 miles, yet failed due to a fractured coil spring and an ABS fault, highlighting that components are degrading through age and inactivity rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system and suspension components. The record consistently flags worn brake discs on all four corners since 2023, indicating that the discs have likely suffered surface rust due to low use. Furthermore, the front lower suspension arm bushes were identified as worn in late 2024, and the nearside coil spring required replacement. A physical inspection should check for further rubber degradation or spring corrosion. Given the previous ABS warning lamps in both 2023 and 2024, a diagnostic scan is essential to ensure the electronic fault was fully resolved and is not intermittent.
