2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · GC21 VUE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive service approach. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 30,296 miles passed, the record shows an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on the outer edge. This suggests that while the vehicle is operational, the owner tends to address consumable items only they reach a point of failure or near-inspection threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its five-year life. There is a significant gap of 8,967 miles between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, which represents a relatively steady rate of travel. This low mileage generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to minor corrosion on brake discs or suspension components if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer must focus closely on the braking system during a physical inspection. The failure in July 2024 at 21,329 miles revealed all four brake pads were below the legal thickness limit and the nearside front disc was worn. Although these were rectified for the pass the following day, the buyer should verify that the current pads have sufficient life and that the calipers are not sticking or binding. The edge wear on the nearside front tyre noted in 2025 also indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional checking to prevent premature wear of new rubber.
