2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · FV18 AEJ

The 2026‑03‑25 MOT at 78,514 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. From the 2023‑04‑26 test at 47,766 miles to the 2026‑03‑25 test at 78,514 miles the odometer rose by 30,748 miles over three years, averaging roughly 10,250 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 2018 manufacture date. The brief 117‑mile increase between 2023‑04‑26 and 2023‑05‑02 does not indicate a pattern of irregular use, and the subsequent yearly increments of about 9,300 to 9,800 miles are typical for a van of this age and mileage. A buyer should therefore focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers, as these components often exhibit wear after high annual mileage; the brake discs and calipers should be examined for scoring or binding, especially given the repeated mileage intervals that stress braking; structural rust on the chassis rails and wheel arches, and the condition of the exhaust system, merit close visual and tactile inspection. Overall, the MOT history indicates consistent upkeep with no recurring mechanical failures, but a physical inspection is essential to verify that the recorded stability translates into actual component health.
