2014 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · LP14 DTY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 17 December 2025 at 71,976 miles passed following an initial failure for a non-functional front windscreen washer. This minor equipment failure suggests the owner is responsive to immediate repair requirements, as the vehicle returned with no defects recorded in the subsequent retest or the 2024 inspection. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old Transporter, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Data from December 2022 at 64,225 miles to December 2025 at 71,976 miles shows steady, low-intensity usage rather than high-mile cycles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on braking surfaces due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front shock absorber, which was flagged for light oil misting during the 2023 test at 66,510 miles. Although this did not result in a failure, misting often precedes a total seal failure and will eventually require replacement. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should also check for surface rust on the brake discs and perished seals throughout the chassis, as these are common points of failure for vehicles that are not driven frequently.
