2010 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · EJ60 YLF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 114,983 miles passed with only an advisory for a damaged windscreen. This represents a slight improvement from the January 2025 test, which flagged worn bushes on both front lower suspension arm arms. While the vehicle continues to pass, the history indicates that components are reaching the end of their functional life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,186 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between March 2022 at 104,771 miles and November 2023 at 108,801 miles, where the vehicle covered only 4,010 miles in twenty months. Since then, usage has increased, covering over 6,000 miles in the last eighteen months. This low annual mileage generally limits wear on the drivetrain but increases the likelihood of rubber components degrading due to age and long stationary periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry due to recurring issues. The 2022 test noted damaged front Macpherson strut mounts and worn shock top mounts, while the 2025 test identified worn rear suspension arm bushes. The buyer should verify if these parts were actually replaced, as unresolved play will adversely affect steering precision and handling. Additionally, the history of perished and cracking tyres noted in 2022 and 2023 suggests the rubber may be aging out. Check all sidewalls for dry rot, regardless of remaining tread depth, as the low mileage suggests the vehicle is prone to environmental degradation of tyres.
