2021 Volkswagen Transporter T30 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · EK21 FSC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on June 19, 2025 at 61,669 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, where the vehicle initially failed its inspection. The most recent record indicates no outstanding defects, suggesting that the mechanical issues identified in 2024 were addressed prior to the latest annual test. The mileage pattern shows consistent annual usage, averaging approximately 12,334 miles per year over its five-year life. Between the June 2024 test at 58,836 miles and the June 2025 test at 61,669 miles, the vehicle covered 2,833 miles. This lower annual accumulation in the final year may slow the wear rate on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it also increases the risk of component degradation if the vehicle sat for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the front-end suspension, as the 2024 failure flagged a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber. While the 2025 test was clear, a buyer should check for signs of weeping on all dampers to ensure they have been replaced with high-quality units. The 2024 record also noted perishing and cracking on both rear tyres; the current rubber should be inspected closely for sidewall damage or age-related degradation, as these components can fail despite relatively low mileage. The history also highlighted an issue with the nearside front outer road wheel tyre ring butting against its seating. This necessitates a check of the wheel rim and hub for any deformation or corrosion that might prevent the tyre from seating correctly, as improper seating can lead to uneven tyre wear and vibrations. Given the high mileage for its age, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and brake components is also advisable to confirm the vehicle remains in the condition suggested by the clean MOT pass.
