2013 Volkswagen TR-Porter 2.0L Diesel · GF63 FLB

The 2025-04-09 MOT at 54,763 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a maintenance trend that is stable, showing no deterioration since the previous test. The mileage has risen steadily from 48,939 miles in September 2021 to 54,763 miles by April 2025, a gain of 5,824 miles over roughly four years, averaging just over 1,450 miles per year, well below the typical 7,500‑mile annual rate for a 13‑year‑old van, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity; the interval between the 2023-10-06 and 2025-04-09 tests spans 18 months yet the mileage increase is modest, reinforcing the low‑usage pattern. A buyer should therefore focus on mechanical components that commonly show wear despite the clean record: suspension bushes and coil springs may have hardened, rear brake calipers could be binding, and brake discs may exhibit surface scoring; inspection of the chassis for structural rust around the wheel arches and underbody is advisable, as is checking the exhaust system for corrosion and ensuring tyre tread depth meets the legal minimum. Given the absence of recorded defects, the vehicle appears well maintained, but a thorough in‑person assessment of these areas will confirm that the low mileage has not masked underlying deterioration.
