2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · NJ21 VUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026. While the previous two years showed clean records, the most recent test at 68,390 miles indicates a decline in basic maintenance. The tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with edge wear, alongside a damaged windscreen. This suggests that while the mechanical components met the standard, routine upkeep of consumable items has been neglected in the most recent period of operation. The mileage pattern shows consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,600 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 40,889 miles and the 2025 test at 53,279 miles, the vehicle covered 12,390 miles, followed by another 15,111 miles recorded in the following thirteen months. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used for regular commercial or long commuting, which places higher stress on the suspension bushes, brake system, and drivetrain components compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension geometry to determine if the edge wear on the offside tyre is caused by poor alignment or worn ball joints and bushings. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and caliper condition is necessary, as the record shows no history of binding issues. The damaged windscreen should be assessed for cracks that may propagate under thermal stress, despite not failing the criteria for obscuring the driver's view during the last test.
