2011 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · GY61 SVF

The Volkswagen Transporter’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 18 November 2025 at 94,948 miles, confirms it remains roadworthy without any defects recorded. This marks the fifth consecutive annual pass, with no advisories or failures in the past three years, suggesting the vehicle has undergone consistent maintenance. The lack of recurring issues in recent tests indicates stable mechanical condition, though the final inspection remains the buyer’s responsibility to verify critical components in person. The recorded mileage of 94,948 miles over 15 years aligns with typical usage patterns for this age, averaging around 6,330 miles annually. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in service intervals, though the 2022 test date appears duplicated—one pass and one failure—both at 82,600 miles, which may indicate a minor administrative oversight rather than a mechanical trend. The absence of pre-MOT repairs or advisories in earlier tests implies no major deferred maintenance. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding brakes or uneven wear on discs could emerge, especially if previous owners neglected fluid changes or caliper servicing. Structural integrity should also be checked for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the rear subframe, as these areas are prone to deterioration in high-mileage vans. A thorough brake fluid flush and tyre tread depth verification are essential, as the record shows no evidence of recent attention to consumables.
