2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · ML18 HGO

The vehicle holds a valid MOT pass dated 7 April 2025 at 42,958 miles, and the maintenance trend across the recorded history is stable with no defects or advisories logged. In the April 2025 test the examiner first recorded a fail at 42,958 miles then issued a pass on the same day with no defects noted. This mirrors the March 2024 sequence where a fail at 39,020 miles on 26 March preceded a pass two days later at 39,061 miles. From the April 2023 pass at 34,936 miles through to the latest entry, the DVSA record shows zero mechanical flags. The mileage progression signals light use for an eight-year-old Transporter. The odometer moved from 34,936 miles in April 2023 to 39,020 miles by March 2024, then to 42,958 miles by April 2025, averaging near 4,000 miles per year. Such low annual accumulation implies the van stood idle for extended periods. The clean, sparse entries reveal no rapid mileage surges that would denote heavy delivery or trade cycles. A buyer should still commission a hands-on inspection of front suspension arm bushes, rear coil springs, and brake caliper operation despite the absent MOT advisories. Standing time and low mileage frequently mask perished rubber components and binding brakes not exposed during a brief test. The record cites no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet the repeated fail-pass pairs without recorded defects merit direct enquiry to the seller about the exact failure trigger. Check exhaust emissions readiness, tyre sidewall cracking, and underbody condition before committing funds.
