2021 Volkswagen Transporter T30 Highline TDI 2.0L Diesel · MT71 VWP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive attention. The most recent MOT test on 24 October 2025 at 29,118 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just four miles prior. This failure was triggered by inoperative fog lamp switches and an ineffective nearside front wiper blade. While these issues have been rectified, the trend remains stable as the faults involve minor electrical and consumable components rather than significant mechanical or structural failures. At 29,118 miles after five years, the Transporter reflects low-usage patterns of approximately 5,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between the January 2025 test at 22,969 miles and the October 2025 test, where the vehicle covered over 6,000 miles in nine months. This low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, but it can also lead to degradation of rubber components like suspension bushes and seals if the vehicle has sat for long periods between journeys. A buyer should pay close attention to the offside rear tyre to ensure the noted nail has not caused structural damage to the sidewall or uneven wear. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection of the brake discs should check for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on vehicles that are not driven frequently. The previous failure of the wiper blade suggests the wiper arm assembly should also be checked for tension to ensure the motor is not straining against resistance.
