2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · ND18 AFE

The 2018 Volkswagen Transporter is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-02 at 76,515 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, the preceding test on 2025-10-01 at the same mileage failed despite no defects being noted, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor procedural issue. The prior three MOTs from 2023-2024 also passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring mechanical or structural issues are evident from the record, though the failed test warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was a technicality or an oversight. The vehicle’s mileage of 76,515 miles aligns with an average of 9,564 miles annually, consistent with its eight-year age. MOT tests are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with mileage increments between tests reflecting steady usage. The absence of defects across multiple inspections suggests the owner maintained the vehicle to standard, though the lack of detailed fault reports limits insight into specific component conditions. No significant gaps or rapid mileage surges are apparent, reinforcing the impression of regular, controlled usage. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these are common areas for wear in older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the failed test at 76,515 miles—despite no defects—raises questions about the testing process. Checking for corrosion, particularly in the chassis or underbody, and verifying brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth would provide further assurance. The absence of advisories or failures in prior tests supports the vehicle’s reliability but does not eliminate the need for a hands-on assessment.
