2015 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · LD65 RZX

The vehicle is currently in good roadworthiness, as the most recent MOT (2025-11-20) at 146,027 miles passed without defects. However, the maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating, as the vehicle has failed twice on the same axle (2024 and 2023) with identical rear suspension and front suspension issues, indicating a lack of consistent upkeep and a potential structural integrity risk. The odometer reading of 146,027 miles, combined with the vehicle's age of approximately 11 years, suggests that the accumulated mileage has outpaced the typical wear pattern for a 2015 model, which would normally require significantly less maintenance. The mileage pattern reveals a critical gap in the vehicle's history, as the test results show a complete lack of mileage accumulation between the failed 2024 and 2023 tests. This abrupt jump from 134,646 miles to 123,695 miles, followed by a sharp drop to 115,752 miles in November 2022, indicates that the vehicle was either driven for very little time or had major repairs performed between the 2024 and 2023 tests. Such a gap in mileage is a major red flag, as it suggests that the vehicle may have been driven for only a few months or weeks, or that the owner skipped routine maintenance entirely, leading to the accumulation of wear that the MOT records do not capture. Given the recurring faults on the rear suspension and front suspension combined with the lack of mileage data, the buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension components, specifically the rear and front lower suspension arms and bushings, for signs of rust, binding, or excessive movement. The absence of mileage data between the 2024 and 2023 tests also warrants a check on the braking system and exhaust emissions, as the vehicle has failed twice on the same axle with identical rear and front suspension issues, suggesting that the braking system may have been serviced incorrectly or that the brakes are no longer in working order.
