2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · E2 WCL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 June 2025 with 141,191 miles and no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year's results. While the June 2024 test flagged multiple suspension-related issues, the lack of advisories in the latest report suggests the owner has addressed the mechanical faults identified during the prior cycle. At 141,191 miles over ten years, this Transporter has averaged approximately 14,100 miles per annum, which is higher than the national average for light commercial vehicles. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and over 11,000 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. This high mileage profile places significant strain on heavy-duty components, particularly the drivetrain and suspension assembly. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the engine bay and underside, as a persistent oil leak was noted in both June 2023 and June 2024. Although the tester described the leak as not excessive, its recurring nature indicates a persistent seal or gasket failure that requires ongoing monitoring. Furthermore, the 2024 test identified corrosion on both coil springs and damaged shock absorber casings. While these appear to have been replaced given the clean 2025 pass, the buyer should check for new signs of rust on the mounting points and structural members to ensure the integrity has not been compromised by the high-mileage environment.
