2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · GD16 HHZ

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 January 2026 at 91,547 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 21 January 2025 at 85,617 miles, although the same date shows a failed entry with no defects logged, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The history shows no advisories or recurring defects across the five-year span reviewed. Recorded mileage sits at 91,547 against a 2016 build, averaging roughly 9,155 miles per year, which is typical for this age of light commercial vehicle. The gap between the 24 April 2023 test at 72,322 miles and the 4 April 2024 test at 85,059 miles accounts for about 12,700 miles in under a year, a modest rise above the annual mean. From April 2024 to January 2025 the van covered only 558 miles, then added 5,930 miles by the January 2026 test. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and commercial loading profile. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity advisories in the MOT data is reassuring, but standing periods implied by low 2024 to 2025 mileage can mask seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres. Verify the exhaust emissions and undertray condition in person, as DVSA testers recorded no faults but did not note components beyond the standard scope.
