2019 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · N88 TAH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful re-test, though the history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 13 March 2026 at 71,592 miles failed due to fractured rear coil springs on both sides. While the vehicle passed the following day at 71,630 miles, the failure indicates that the owner only addressed critical suspension components once they resulted in a legal test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old van, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between February 2023 and March 2024, where the vehicle covered over 19,000 miles in a single year. This surge in activity correlates with the 2024 MOT results at 45,774 miles, which flagged multiple consumable issues including thin brake pads, pitted discs, and tyres reaching the legal limit. This suggests that high-mileage periods accelerate wear on components between standard service intervals. A buyer should personally inspect the rear suspension for signs of further corrosion or fatigue, as the simultaneous failure of both coil springs suggests a systemic issue or heavy loading history. Given the 2024 advisories regarding worn brakes and uneven tyre wear, a full check of the braking system and alignment is necessary to ensure no lingering pull or mechanical damage remains. The record shows that the vehicle is driven until components point of failure, necessitating a thorough evaluation of the current state of all rubber and friction components before purchase.
