2010 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · FT10 SKF

The 2010 Volkswagen Transporter presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-09 at 186,752 miles recording a pass and no defects. All tests from 2022 to 2026 show consistent compliance, with the sole exception of a failed 2022-12-29 test at 174,147 miles, which also listed no defects. This suggests either a procedural error or a transient issue resolved prior to subsequent passes. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, indicating the vehicle has maintained acceptable standards over the past four years. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging 11,672 miles annually. The interval between the 2022-12-29 failure and the 2024-01-05 pass saw a 2,710-mile increase over 12 months, slightly below the annual average, which may reflect reduced activity or storage. Subsequent tests show steady mileage growth, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity periods. The absence of repeated advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has not experienced significant wear beyond normal aging. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over 186,000 miles. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear, as older vehicles often develop binding or corrosion in these systems. Structural integrity remains unmentioned in the record, but rust or corrosion in body seams, especially in a 16-year-old van, warrants visual confirmation. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden damage or unresolved faults from the 2022 failure.
