2013 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · P4 LFM

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a history of consistent passes over the last several years. The most recent test in October 2025 at 124,136 miles resulted in a pass despite a failure for a severely deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. This indicates that while minor wear components are beginning to show age, the owner is addressing safety-related faults prior to subsequent testing, preventing a downward trend in mechanical condition. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old Volkswagen Transporter, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 110,435 miles and the October 2025 test at 124,136 miles, the vehicle covered 13,701 miles, representing a steady usage profile that aligns with typical industry expectations. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been used for purpose rather than suffering from long periods of standing, which generally results in more even wear on drivetrain and braking components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the deterioration of the anti-roll bar ball joint cover suggests other rubber components in the front end may be nearing the end of their service life. The history shows minor electrical issues, such as an inoperative registration lamp and position lamp interference, which point to basic maintenance items rather than deep mechanical failure. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, although no specific structural integrity issues were flagged in the recent MOT advisories.
