2021 Volkswagen Transporter S TDI 2.0L Diesel · FN21 UVP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in preventative care. While the Transporter passed its latest test in May 2026 at 45,061 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories regarding components that were absent in previous years. This shift from a clean record to a list of wear-related defects suggests that the current owner may be waiting for MOT failures to address maintenance rather than performing proactive servicing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The vehicle travelled from 10,082 miles in June 2024 to 27,935 miles by June 2025, followed by a further 17,126 miles leading to the May 2026 test. This significant increase in usage over the final year explains the sudden appearance of wear on the tyres and brakes, as the vehicle was being driven much more frequently than in the previous annual period. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyres. The May 2026 test flagged thin rear inner brake pads and four tyres showing varying inner-edge wear and flat spotting. The uneven wear on the tyres often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which will lead to premature replacement of new rubber. The brake discs should also be checked for scoring or uneven wear, as the thin pads may have already compromised the rotors if not replaced immediately.
