2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · EY16 OPB

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unreliable , as evidenced by a worsening maintenance trend that has deteriorated since the most recent MOT test on 2025-07-24. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and a pitted or scored brake disc in the September 2023 test at 52,000 miles, indicating that the braking system has become seriously weakened and likely unsafe for future driving. The mileage pattern is rapidly accelerating relative to the vehicle's age of 10 years, with the most recent test occurring on 2025-07-24. This rapid accumulation of miles suggests that the owner has been driving the car at high speeds or for extended periods without addressing the underlying mechanical issues, which has caused the brakes to fail repeatedly in the past. The buyer should inspect the suspension bushings and coil springs in the front and rear, as well as the brake discs , as these components are prone to failure in this context. Additionally, the windscreen wipers and anti-roll bar linkage are in a state of irreversible damage, and the tyre tread depth has fallen below the legal limit. These recurring faults indicate a lack of basic upkeep, and the vehicle's structural integrity is compromised, making it unsuitable for commercial or high-risk driving.
