2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · GJ21 MLV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in basic consumable upkeep. The most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 29,124 miles passed but noted an advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This shift from the October 2023 test, which recorded no defects, suggests that the owner may be beginning to neglect routine minor maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a five-year-old transporter, averaging approximately 5,825 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 19,988 miles and October 2024 at 25,319 miles, the vehicle covered 5,331 miles, followed by another 3,805 miles prior to the 2025 test. This low usage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to flat spotsting tyres or corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the suspension and alignment in person, as the uneven wear noted on the nearside rear tyre in 2025 often indicates worn suspension bushes or incorrect wheel geometry. While the 2024 advisory regarding a nail in the tyre was a minor puncture risk, it highlights the need to check the remaining tyres for depth and structural damage. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for surface pitting or seizing, which are common issues on vehicles that are not frequently driven.
