2020 Volkswagen Transporter T30 Highline TDI 2.0L Diesel · DY70 XAV

The most recent MOT history for this vehicle shows a worsening trend in mechanical condition. While the vehicle passed its test on 6 November 2025, this followed a significant failure on the same date. The failure included a dangerous defect regarding an offside rear tyre with structural separation and a major defect involving a fractured offside rear coil spring. The subsequent pass left several advisories and minor defects, specifically regarding pitted front brake discs and a deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. The vehicle has covered 39,492 miles over approximately six years, averaging roughly 6,582 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records provided cover the period from November 2023 to November 2025, showing a relatively consistent annual testing pattern. The inspection history highlights recurring issues with the suspension and braking systems. In November 2023, the tester flagged worn pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. By November 2025, the focus shifted to more serious component failures, including the broken coil spring and the brake disc condition. The advisory regarding fluctuating service brakes on the offside front suggests potential issues with the braking system that require physical verification. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the entire suspension assembly, specifically checking the condition of all bushes, ball joints, and coil springs to ensure the previous failures have been fully rectified. The front brake discs and calipers require close examination to check for uneven wear or binding, given the recorded fluctuations and pitting. Finally, the recent tyre failure indicates a need to inspect the remaining tyres for any signs of structural bulging or uneven wear.
