2020 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI 0.1L Heavy oil · MC18 CUS

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 8 January 2026 at 97,119 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in January 2025 and October 2023, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 16,000 miles per year. The record shows a significant increase in usage over the last year, with 8,076 miles added between the January 2025 test at 89,043 miles and the January 2026 test at 97,119 miles. While the lack of MOT failures indicates the owner has kept up with basic roadworthiness, the high cumulative mileage places greater stress on the drivetrain and chassis than a typical example of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical limit. Given the mileage, check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the depth of the tyre treads across all axles. Inspect the brake discs for excessive lip wear and check for any signs of binding calipers, as these components face heavy use in high-mileage Transporters. Check the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around the sills and chassis rails, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed structural health report. Verify the service history to ensure the cambelt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's interval, as the high mileage increases the risk of timing component failure regardless of the clean MOT record.
