2014 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · NL14 XOJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2026 with 207,275 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as the previous failure for a non-functional rear fog lamp was rectified quickly. However, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care, with several faults only addressed after they triggered a failure rather than being serviced during routine intervals. At 207,275 miles over roughly 12 years, this Transporter has covered a high average of approximately 17,000 miles per annum. Between December 2023 and April 2025, the vehicle covered nearly 17,000 miles in just sixteen months, indicating a period of high-intensity use. This rapid accumulation of mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the recurring issues noted throughout the record. A buyer must focus specifically on the front suspension, as the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in both 2023 and 2025. While these did not result in an immediate failure at those times, the persistence of the issue suggests the rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life. The rear silencer also shows a history of corrosion, which was noted in both 2023 and 2025, requiring a physical inspection to ensure the rust has not progressed into a structural failure of the exhaust system. The 2023 failure for an inoperative engine management indication light (MIL) suggests that electrical or sensor faults were previously ignored. Furthermore, the report that all four tyres perished in late 2023 indicates a period where basic upkeep was neglected regarding safety standards. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the shock absorbers, CV joints, and brake components is essential to determine if the vehicle has suffered excessive mechanical wear beyond what the MOT records capture.
