2014 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · PJ64 HGF

The vehicle's maintenance history shows a worsening trend in mechanical reliability and component degradation. While the most recent test on 20 November 2025 at 78,670 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed that same day due to significant issues including fractured rear coil springs, ABS and electronic stability control faults, and damaged anti-roll bar linkage dust covers. The transition from a clean record in 2018 to frequent failures in recent years suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase of more intensive component replacement requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 20,210 miles in 2017 to the current 78,670 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing, though the frequency of failures has increased as the mileage has climbed. The 2024 test at 64,511 miles and the 2025 test at 78,670 miles show a roughly 14,000-mile interval, which is standard for annual inspections. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The record indicates recurring issues with brake wear and binding, specifically noting worn discs and thin pads in 2022 and a binding nearside front brake in 2025. The recent failure regarding fractured rear coil springs and faulty anti-roll bar linkages suggests the suspension components are nearing the end of their service life. The presence of an ABS warning lamp and TPMS faults in the November 2025 failure requires electronic diagnostic verification to ensure these are not deeper electrical or sensor issues. Finally, the repeated advisories regarding seat belt webbing damage since 2019 and the cracked windscreen in 2025 indicate a pattern of neglecting minor consumable repairs. While the windscreen issue was noted as not affecting the driver's view, the frayed seat belt webbing is a long-standing issue that should be replaced for compliance. The cracked or perishing rear tyres noted in the most recent test also suggest that rubber components are beginning to age and degrade, necessitating immediate replacement.
