Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise verifying the repair of the ABS fault that caused the August 2025 MOT failure. You should also request evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this 1968cc diesel engine that are not captured in MOT records.
Given the recurring advisories for tyre wear and registration lamps, check if the vehicle has been used for heavy commercial work. Use the current advisories regarding the anti-roll bar pins and the damaged windscreen as leverage for price negotiation, as these will require attention in the near future.
The 2.0L diesel engine typically provides a balance of power and efficiency for a vehicle of this size, though fuel economy will vary based on load. Tax and insurance costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and its classification as a light commercial vehicle.
Maintenance costs for a 16-year-old Transporter are likely to be higher than average, with a focus on suspension components and tyres. Expect an annual budget to cover fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely replacement of wear-and-tear items identified in recent MOTs.
Carefully inspect the front suspension and anti-roll bar; the August 2026 MOT noted worn pins and bushes, following a 2025 failure for a damaged dust cover. Check the condition of all four tyres for uneven wear, as the vehicle failed in 2025 and had advisories in 2024 due to tyres worn close to the legal limit.
Examine the windscreen for the damage mentioned in three consecutive MOT tests (2025, 2025 fail, and 2026). Additionally, check the functionality of the registration plate lamps and the security of the battery, both of which were noted as issues in the most recent inspection.
This silver 2010 Volkswagen Transporter has recorded 115,867 miles. The MOT history shows a failure in August 2025 due to ABS faults and tyre wear, alongside repeated advisories for windscreen damage. The most recent test in August 2026 passed, but noted several advisories including worn anti-roll bar components and a damaged seat belt buckle.
