2021 Volkswagen Transporter T30 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · MM21 LWL

A history of generally clean roadworthiness is offset by a significant safety failure in 2025 and current tyre degradation. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection on 11 June 2026, the record is marked by a dangerous failure in June 2025 due to critically worn brake pads on both the front and rear axles, and the most recent test now flags multiple tyre issues. The recorded mileage of 30,772 miles reflects a typical usage pattern for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,154 miles per year. This moderate accumulation suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to the heavy stress of high-mileage commercial hauling, though it does not preclude the need for routine consumable replacement. Attention must be paid to the braking system following the dangerous failure recorded in 2025 where both front and rear pads were found to be less than 1.5mm thick. A prospective buyer should verify that the pads have been replaced and check the condition of the brake discs for scoring or pitting that may have occurred when the pads were critically low. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises and feel for pedal judder or a lack of immediate bite. The most recent advisories from June 2026 indicate that the offside front tyre is worn close to the legal limit and the rear tyres are perishing or cracking. A physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls is necessary to assess the extent of the perishing, and the tread depth of the offside front should be measured to confirm how much life remains. Ensure the vehicle is not pulling to one side during straight-line driving, which could indicate uneven wear or alignment issues.
