2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 H-Line TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · LC71 OPK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 26 November 2025 at 105,114 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be improving as the owner successfully addressed mechanical failures identified in previous tests. While the most recent history involved a minor failure regarding the offside front windscreen wiper, the subsequent pass without recorded defects indicates that the owner is performing reactive maintenance to keep the vehicle within legal standards. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 21,000 miles per year. Between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, the Transporter covered 3,596 miles in just three days. This consistent high-mileage usage suggests frequent long-distance driving, which accelerates the wear on heavy drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The regularity of the annual MOT tests shows a consistent approach to compliance despite the heavy workload on the van. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension, specifically targeting the nearside shock absorber which failed with a serious fluid leak at 101,509 miles. Although this was repaired, the high mileage puts significant stress on the remaining dampers, control arms, and coil springs. You should also check for signs of uneven tyre wear or worn brake discs, as the high annual mileage often leads to premature degradation of these consumables. Given the usage pattern, a close inspection of the chassis for corrosion or structural fatigue is essential to ensure the high mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the vehicle.
