2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · MJ21 ALF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass on 20 May 2026. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with faults being limited to minor consumable items rather than mechanical or structural degradation. The failure on the previous day, 19 May 2026, was due solely to a cut in the nearside rear tyre reaching the ply cords, which was rectified immediately to secure a pass the following day. At 7,757 miles over five years, this Transporter has operated with exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 1,551 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent across the records, moving from 4,445 miles in May 2024 to 5,538 miles in May 2025. Such low mileage typically suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to flat-spotting on tyres or de-gradation of seals and rubber components if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should verify the headlamp alignment, as the vehicle failed the May 2024 test at 4,445 miles for both lights being too high. While this was resolved for the subsequent tests, a physical check ensures the adjustment remains secure and accurate. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also focus on signs of surface corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, as infrequent use can cause brake components to seize or rust despite the lack of mechanical wear.
