2022 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · GD22 KDV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing an improving maintenance trend following a mechanical failure. The most recent MOT test on 27 January 2026 at 40,268 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues identified in the previous year were addressed. This transition from a failure to a clean pass suggests the owner took proactive action to rectify the faults flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The data shows a significant concentration of activity between August 2025 and September 2025, where the vehicle covered only 176 miles across two test dates. This low interval suggests the vehicle was used for short trips or remained stationary during that period, which often contributes to the perishing of rubber components seen in the September 2025 report. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension to ensure the serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber noted in August 2025 has been fully resolved and is not weeping again. The buyer should also examine the rear tyres, as the previous test flagged both perishing on the offside rear and shoulder wear on the nearside rear. While these were likely replaced, the uneven wear pattern often indicates a wheel alignment issue or worn bushings that warrants checking to prevent premature wear of new rubber.
