2013 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · OO07 MBH

The vehicle has been assessed as roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates an inconsistent maintenance trend rather than a stable one. The most recent test on 2025-08-21 was a pass at 113,754 miles, yet a failure occurred on 2025-08-21 at the same mileage, suggesting a potential issue with the suspension or chassis rather than consumables. This discrepancy highlights a lack of consistent upkeep, as the tester flagged binding rear brakes and failed the test, indicating that the vehicle's structural integrity may have deteriorated or that the brakes require immediate replacement. The mileage pattern shows a significant gap in the last MOT, with the previous pass occurring on 2023-08-09 at 108,683 miles. Since the current date is 2026-06-18, the vehicle has been in the UK for over four years, yet the last valid MOT date falls well before the test date. This gap of approximately two years suggests that the owner may have skipped regular maintenance, allowing wear on suspension components, brakes, and other drivetrain parts to accumulate without periodic inspection. Given the failure in the September 2025 test and the lack of a recent pass, the vehicle requires urgent mechanical intervention. The buyer must inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel bearings for rust or binding, as well as check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion. Furthermore, the history of a failed MOT at 113,754 miles indicates that the vehicle may have suffered from structural damage or excessive wear on the drivetrain, necessitating a full diagnostic scan before any further driving is permitted.
