2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · FP68 FVR

The vehicle is roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 28 July 2025 at 41,025 miles, and the maintenance trend has moved from a period of multiple failures in 2022 to a stable, compliant state in the latest test. The 2024‑08‑09 failure for an off‑side daytime‑running lamp was rectified before the subsequent pass, indicating that identified defects have been addressed promptly. At eight years old, the recorded 41,025 miles equates to roughly 5,100 miles per year, well below the average for a vehicle of this age. No abrupt mileage spikes appear between tests; the interval from 23,330 miles in October 2021 to 31,137 miles in October 2022 reflects a modest increase of about 7,800 miles in twelve months, consistent with light‑to‑moderate use. The data set is sparse but clean, suggesting the vehicle has spent considerable time idle or has been driven gently. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the tyre condition, especially the rear sidewalls that were noted as perished in the 2022‑11‑07 inspection and the front tyre cut recorded on 31 October 2022. Verify that the brake pads and discs have been replaced or are within safe thickness, as thin pads were flagged in both 2022 tests. Inspect the headlamp alignment and the front seat‑belt retracting mechanism, both of which failed in 2022, to ensure the corrective work remains effective. A visual check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of corrosion on chassis members will confirm that no underlying structural issues have been overlooked.
