2012 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · MJ11 EAR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent maintenance trend despite intermittent test failures. The most recent inspection conducted on November 4, 2025, at 157,058 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates that any issues identified in previous sessions were successfully rectified prior to the test. The clean sheet from the latest MOT suggests that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety and emissions standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a Transporter of this age, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per annum. Between the 2023 test at 144,523 miles and the 2024 test at 151,244 miles, the vehicle covered 6,721 miles, which is slightly below the annual average. The subsequent 5,814 miles covered between October 2024 and November 2025 show a similar rate of operation. This suggests regular use which often helps prevent the degradation of components associated with long periods of standing. While the recent record is clean, the recurring failures in both 2023 and 2025 without specific listed defects in the data provided suggest minor mechanical items or consumable wear that were addressed quickly. A buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on common Transporter points of failure, specifically checking for structural corrosion on the rear sills and floor pans. Given the age and mileage, evaluating the condition of the suspension bushes and the state of the brake discs and calipers is essential to ensure no hidden wear is developing beyond what the MOT test captures.
