2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · LJ68 AVT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The July 2026 test at 30,841 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from July 2025 at 25,344 miles. This suggests the vehicle has transitioned from a period of minor consumable issues into a phase of consistent maintenance. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,855 miles per year. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in distance between tests, with the interval between October 2024 and July 2025 showing a slightly higher usage pattern than previous years. This low annual mileage often indicates light commercial use or significant periods of stationary storage. The MOT history highlights a specific trend regarding tyre condition between 2022 and 2023. In October 2022 at 16,199 miles, the tester flagged both rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit. This was followed in October 2023 at 18,486 miles by advisories for all four tyres showing signs of cracking or perishing. These recurring issues suggest the vehicle may have sat idle for extended periods, causing the rubber to degrade through age rather than tread wear. A prospective buyer should focus a physical inspection on the tyres to ensure they are not currently perishing due to this history of low usage. While no mechanical or structural defects like suspension bushes, brake binding, or corrosion have appeared in the records, the low mileage warrants a close check of all rubber components, including drive belts and engine seals, which can suffer from age-related degradation when a vehicle is driven infrequently.
