2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · GF66 MFO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a clear trend of deteriorating front suspension components. The most recent test on 22 May 2026 at 85,590 miles passed despite multiple advisories regarding worn bushes on both the front anti-roll bars and suspension arm pins. These specific issues were first flagged back in the May 2024 test at 66,931 miles, indicating that the front suspension assembly is reaching the end of its operational life and has not yet been overhauled. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old Transporter, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage with roughly 9,000 miles covered between May 2024 and 2025, and another 9,700 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This regularity suggests standard operational patterns rather than long periods of standing, which aligns with the progressive wear of rubber components and bushes noted in the MOT history. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring wear on the anti-roll bar bushes and arm bushings will likely lead to knocks or vibrations over uneven surfaces if not replaced soon. Additionally, the windscreen has been a persistent issue with chips since at least 2022; these should be checked for cracks that could migrate into the driver's line of view under temperature changes. The previous mention of missing seats and child seats in earlier tests suggests the vehicle was used for commercial or utility purposes, which warrants a check of the interior wear and securing points.
