2015 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · OU65 WUM

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on May 6 2026 at 155,261 miles. This represents a significant improvement in condition compared to the period of neglect observed in late 2023. While the vehicle previously struggled with multiple mechanical and safety failures, the two most recent tests with no recorded defects indicate that the current owner has addressed the outstanding issues and is maintaining the van moving forward. The mileage pattern reflects consistent, high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year over its eleven-year life. The record shows a rapid accumulation of 14,437 miles between November 2023 and May 2025, and another 3,557 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This high mileage suggests the Transporter is used for regular long-distance transit, which accelerates wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and sealing integrity, as the November 2023 test flagged critical failures including both rear coil springs and a worn nearside anti-roll bar bush. Although these were reportedly rectified, the high mileage increases the likelihood of further rubber bushing degradation and shock absorber wear. The oil leak noted in 2023 should be monitored during a test drive to ensure it has not developed into a more significant leak under load. Finally, verify that the offside front seat belt webbing has been replaced rather than repaired, as this was a recurring safety failure across two consecutive tests.
