2022 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Highline TDI 2.0L Diesel · HF22 VOC

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile based on the available DVSA MOT records. The most recent test, conducted on 24 July 2025 at 22,391 miles, resulted in a straightforward pass with zero defects, advisories, or failures recorded. This indicates that, at the time of testing, the braking system, suspension components, structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and lighting all met the required standards. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring faults or emerging patterns of deterioration to flag. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2022-registered vehicle. At approximately 5,598 miles per year, the van has seen significantly lighter use than typical commercial or long-distance private use would suggest. The single recorded MOT entry at 22,391 miles aligns with this pattern and shows no evidence of rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps in the testing history. The record is sparse, with only one test on file, which is consistent with a vehicle that reached its first MOT obligation at three years of age in 2025. There are no prior tests to compare against, so the full maintenance trajectory before that date remains unknown. The absence of any defects in the sole MOT entry is encouraging but does not substitute for a thorough physical inspection. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the brake discs, pads, and calipers, as low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods can develop surface corrosion on braking components that a single MOT may not fully reveal. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be examined for perishing or deterioration caused by age rather than mileage. Tyre condition warrants particular attention; low annual usage often means tyres age out before they wear out, and sidewall cracking or date codes older than five years would indicate replacement is due regardless of remaining tread depth. The structural underside and load floor of the Transporter body should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and cross-members, as standing vehicles can trap moisture in ways that high-mileage vehicles driven regularly do not. A test drive at varying speeds will reveal any binding brakes, steering misalignment, or drivetrain vibrations that a static inspection might miss. Given the clean MOT record and low mileage, this van appears well-maintained on paper, but the limited testing history means a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains essential before committing.
