2013 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · P14 EAP

The 2026‑07‑03 MOT at 52,776 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA standard and that the maintenance trend remains stable with no evidence of worsening conditions. Over the past 13 years the mileage has risen at an average of roughly 4,000 miles per year, a figure well below the typical wear rate for a vehicle of this age, and the interval between tests has remained roughly annual, with only the 2020‑07‑10 and 2021‑03‑22 entries showing consecutive tests on the same day. Recurring observations include wear on the front lower suspension arm pins and bushes, rear suspension bushes, tyre perishing on both near‑ and off‑side rear tyres, and a previous failure involving fractured rear coil springs and exhaust back‑box corrosion; the 2021 MOT also listed missing rear seat belts and worn brake discs, while the 2020 failure highlighted broken coil springs. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension components for play or binding, verify the integrity of the rear coil springs and brake discs, inspect tyre tread and side‑wall condition, and look for any signs of structural rust beyond the exhaust, as these items have repeatedly appeared in the record despite recent clean MOTs.
