2019 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · NJ69 HFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent test indicates a minor lapse in preventative maintenance. While it passed the MOT on 21 January 2026 at 88,281 miles, it failed just one day prior due to an inoperative registration plate lamp and a nearside front tyre with tread depth below the legal limit. This suggests the owner addressed the immediate faults quickly to secure a pass. The overall maintenance trend remains stable, with no structural defects or recurring mechanical failures recorded beyond basic consumable-related items. At 88,281 miles over seven years, this Transporter has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per year. This reflects consistent commercial or heavy use, which typically leads to accelerated wear on mechanical components. The mileage accumulation is steady, with a 17,400-mile gap between December 2022 and December 2023, and another 20,000 miles between December 2023 and January 2026. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, which is generally positive for the engine seals and fuel system. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension during a physical inspection. The December 2022 test already noted pitted and scored brake discs at 50,838 miles, and given the high mileage since then, the discs and pads are likely nearing the end of their life. The recent failure regarding a low-tread tyre indicates that consumables may only be replaced when they fail. Given the high-mileage nature of the vehicle, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, control arms, and dampers is essential to ensure that the consistent usage has not compromised the structural integrity or handling of the chassis.
