2015 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · OU65 WUR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear degradation in the suspension system. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 225,025 miles passed, it failed just two days prior at 225,005 miles due to serious fluid leaks from both front shock absorbers. Although the owner addressed the shocks, the record reveals a persistent issue with worn suspension arm pins and bushes across all four corners, indicating that components are being run to failure rather than being proactively replaced. The mileage profile reflects heavy usage for an eleven-year-old Transporter, averaging over 20,000 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 65,353 miles, confirming a consistent high-mileage commercial or commuter application. This rate of accumulation places significant stress on the drivetrain, bushings, and rubber suspension components. The presence of an oil leak noted back in 2022 suggests the engine may be reaching a stage in its life cycle where routine maintenance intervals become more critical to prevent major mechanical failures. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire suspension geometry. The recurring advisories for worn bushes and pins from 2022 through 2025 suggest that the vehicle may suffer from poor-handling precision and uneven tyre wear. Specific attention should be paid to the front shock absorbers to ensure the replacement following the 2025 failure was of quality. Given the high mileage and the history of worn bushes, checking for structural corrosion on the subframe and mounting points is also essential, as these areas often degrade on high-mileage Transporters.
