Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this Transporter, you should prioritise checking the recent advisories from the January 2026 MOT. Specifically, ask if the rear brake pads have been replaced and if the nearside front suspension ball joint and offside front CV boot have been addressed, as these were noted as severely deteriorated.
Negotiate the price based on the cost of these pending repairs. You should also request evidence of any recent servicing, as the MOT history alone does not confirm mechanical maintenance. Given the high mileage, check for any signs of oil leaks or heavy engine vibration which are common in high-mileage diesel vans.
As a 1968cc diesel, running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's weight and load. Fuel economy will depend heavily on how the van is used (commercial vs. leisure) and the load carried.
Maintenance costs for a Transporter of this age and mileage can be higher than a standard car, particularly regarding suspension components and braking systems. Expect to budget for regular servicing and the eventual replacement of wear items like tyres and clutch components. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated to be in the mid-to-high range for a large diesel vehicle.
Focus your inspection on the areas highlighted in the 2026 MOT record. Inspect the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and the offside front drive shaft CV boot; the previous record noted these as 'severely deteriorated'.
Check the condition of the rear brakes, as the 2026 test noted both nearside and offside rear inner pads were wearing thin. Additionally, given the 2022 advisory regarding a frayed seat belt, ensure all seat belts in the cabin are in good condition and retract smoothly. Finally, check the tyres for uneven wear, following the pattern seen in the 2022 and 2024 MOTs.
This 2011 Volkswagen Transporter, finished in yellow, has covered 148,738 miles since its first registration in January 2011. The MOT history shows a pattern of intermittent issues ranging from tyre wear and seat belt damage to more recent suspension and braking concerns. While it has passed its last five tests, the mileage is significant for a vehicle of this age.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific model to provide a comparative benchmark.
