2019 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · F13 JAR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a decline in the maintenance of consumable components. While it passed the test in April 2026 at 39,039 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories related to the rear tyres. Both the nearside and offside rear tyres showed damage to the inner edges and were worn close to the legal limit. This shift suggests a recent lack of proactive tyre care compared to the clean record seen in the 2025 test. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old transporter, averaging approximately 5,577 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2022 and 2026, with the vehicle covering roughly 15,800 miles over the last four years. There is a notable gap of over 4,000 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must specifically inspect the front of the engine to address the recurring oil leak noted in April 2023 and April 2024. Although the tester described the leak as not excessive in 2024, the persistent nature of the fault suggests a gasket or seal that requires monitoring or replacement. The uneven inner-edge wear on the rear tyres recorded in the 2026 test strongly indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A professional alignment check is necessary to prevent premature failure of any new set of tyres.
