2007 Volkswagen TR-Porter T30 130 TDI LWB 2.5L Diesel · FIG 1076

The Volkswagen Transporter T30 presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 2026-02-27 at 195,379 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any entry. A clean sheet at the latest examination indicates the vehicle entered the current test cycle in sound condition. Recorded mileage shows typical use for a 19-year-old van. The odometer read 157,523 miles in August 2021 and 157,593 miles in August 2022, a mere 70 miles across twelve months that suggests a period of limited operation or a recorded discrepancy. From August 2022 to April 2024 the van covered 19,223 miles, then 18,563 miles by February 2026. The sparse record shows only five tests over four years, with the February 2024 failure at 175,227 miles carrying no listed defects, implying an administrative or unrecorded cause rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion in the MOT data, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside rust on this high-mileage example. The 195,379-mile figure places heavy wear potential on drivetrain components and consumables not captured by the pass results. A pre-purchase check should confirm the February 2024 failure reason through DVSA correspondence and verify the 2021 to 2022 mileage plateau. No ongoing defect trend exists in the official record, but the age and mileage warrant scrutiny of exhaust emissions and binding calipers under load.
