2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Highline TDI 2.0L Diesel · DY71 EHC

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 76,870 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an earlier clean pass on 23 October 2024 at 43,319 miles. Two consecutive MOTs with zero advisories or failures indicates the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical condition across the recorded period. Mileage data shows a sharp accumulation between tests. The van covered 33,551 miles in the twelve months from October 2024 to October 2025, averaging roughly 2,796 miles per month. Against an approximate five-year lifespan and 76,870 total miles, this late surge lifts the overall average to about 15,374 miles per year, which is high for a 2021 model. The sparse two-entry history gives no visibility of the first three years, so early wear patterns remain unknown. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high annual mileage now being covered. The clean record means no specific structural corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emission faults were flagged by testers, but the recent mileage jump stresses drivetrain and consumable components not captured by a pass result. Pre-purchase checks ought to confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody structural integrity. The absence of advisories suggests previous upkeep met minimum standards, yet the rapid 2025 accumulation means wear since the last test will not appear until the next MOT falls due.
