2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · LO14 GEM

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 July 2026 at 48,786 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable; the only advisory – front‑tyre tread approaching the legal limit – appeared in the 10 July 2023 test and was absent in the subsequent 22 July 2024 inspection, indicating that the issue was addressed. Mileage averages roughly 6,100 miles per year for an eight‑year‑old Transporter, which aligns with typical usage. Early records show modest accumulation, rising from 10,620 miles in October 2021 to 11,897 miles in July 2022, then a steeper climb to 19,113 miles by July 2023 and 28,000 miles by July 2024. The last two years exhibit a notable increase, reaching 36,481 miles in July 2025 and 48,786 miles in July 2026, suggesting a period of more intensive use in recent times. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front tyres, ensuring tread depth is uniform and above the legal minimum, and inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of damage. Examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and rear‑wheel bearings is advisable, as increased mileage can accelerate wear on these components. Brake discs and pads should be checked for thickness and any scoring, while a visual survey for corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches, and exhaust system will confirm the structural integrity noted in the MOT history.
