2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · KV65 FPL

The 2026 test on 180,516 miles was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness through the most recent official check. This is a positive sign for the buyer, as the vehicle has not suffered from any critical mechanical failure or structural damage during this period. The MOT history shows a clear pattern of declining performance that correlates with the vehicle's age, highlighting a trend of worsening condition over time. The most recent test in October 2025 was passed at 180,516 miles, but the previous test in September 2025 failed at 180,453 miles, a gap of 63 miles. This gap suggests that the vehicle has accumulated wear on the drivetrain or suspension components since the last inspection, rather than a sudden catastrophic failure. The subsequent tests in 2024 and 2022 passed at significantly lower mileage figures, confirming that the vehicle has been maintained in good shape since late 2022. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for structural integrity and mechanical wear, specifically focusing on the suspension and braking systems. The 2025 test failure at 180,453 miles indicates that the rear suspension bushings and coil springs may be worn or binding, which is a common issue in older vehicles. If the 2025 test passed at 180,516 miles, the suspension should be checked for binding calipers and brake discs for corrosion. The lack of defects in the 2025 test suggests that the vehicle has had its suspension serviced or replaced, but the 2025 test failure implies that the vehicle is now in a state of concern where the suspension components are likely to fail again if not maintained.
