2010 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · FN60 RTX

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 5 March 2026 at 109,684 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with three consecutive annual passes and no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers. The duplicate failed entries logged on the same dates as the passes in 2025 and 2026 at 105,692 and 109,684 miles carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative rejections rather than mechanical failures. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 16-year-old van. The odometer read 102,744 miles in the February 2024 test, rose to 105,692 miles by March 2025, and reached 109,684 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles per year, well below the 6,855-mile annual average for the vehicle's age. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals, though the low yearly cover may imply prolonged standing periods between uses. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the likelihood of perished rubber or corroded components from intermittent use. The MOT data flags no structural integrity concerns, exhaust emissions failures, or binding calipers, yet testers recorded zero advisories across all entries, which can mean minor wear went unlogged. Verify the duplicate failure entries with DVLA to confirm they were clerical and not concealed defects. Inspect underneath for corrosion to chassis rails and subframes, and check tyre sidewalls for cracking from low-mileage storage. The history suggests conscientious test compliance, but hands-on checks remain essential on a 2010 model.
