2014 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · GJ14 DVL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a clean pass in April 2026 at 142,343 miles, demonstrating an improving defect trend over recent test cycles. DVSA testing records show no advisory items or defects flagged during the three most recent annual inspections conducted between March 2024 and April 2026. The single initial failure across the recorded history occurred in March 2019 due to a fractured offside rear coil spring, which the owner rectified prior to a successful retest three days later. Recent testing demonstrates stable compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. Accumulating 142,343 miles over approximately 12 years represents an average annual distance of roughly 11,862 miles, placing this Transporter within expected parameters for its age. The testing timeline shows consistent annual submission without extended gaps, indicating ongoing operational use rather than prolonged periods of standing. Steady mileage accumulation implies predictable wear patterns on key running gear, though total vehicle distance dictates thorough assessment of high-wear chassis components. A prospective buyer should direct targeted physical checks toward the rear running gear and vehicle underside. The March 2019 failure for a fractured offside rear coil spring, followed by an advisory for a misting offside rear shock absorber in January 2022, highlights past mechanical stress on the rear axle components. Inspect all coil springs, dampers, and suspension bushes for fractures, fluid loss, and deteriorating rubber mounting blocks. Examine the centre exhaust section for the surface corrosion recorded in 2019, check the security of the engine undertrays, and verify that the nearside rear seat belt fabric flagged for damage in January 2023 has been repaired or replaced.
