2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · M29 DAD

The 2026‑04‑16 MOT at 67,175 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. All previous tests from 2020 to 2025 also showed passes with no defects, demonstrating consistent upkeep. The mileage has increased by roughly 6,000–7,000 miles per year since 2020, rising from 34,407 miles in March 2020 to 67,175 miles in April 2026, a pattern consistent with normal usage for a ten‑year‑old van and showing no evidence of long standing periods or abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the rear brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and verify that the tyre wear noted in the March 2023 test has not progressed to uneven tread or sidewall damage. Particular attention to structural rust around the wheel arches, chassis rails and underbody is advisable, as is a check of the exhaust system for corrosion and the condition of the steering linkage, given the recurring tyre edge wear that may reflect alignment or suspension issues.
