2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · RA65 WUU

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 145,854 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar clean result on 9 October 2024, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without lingering mechanical issues. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 14,585 miles per year. There has been a significant increase in usage recently. Between 103,001 miles in April 2023 and 145,854 miles in October 2025, the vehicle covered over 42,000 miles in just thirty months. This rapid accumulation of mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on the drivetrain and chassis components. The MOT record is unusually clean for a high-mileage Transporter. There are no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc deterioration across the last four years. A failure on 23 March 2022 was resolved on the same day, though the record does not specify the fault. The absence of any advisories regarding tyres or brakes over several years of heavy use is atypical and suggests either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime or a very lenient testing history. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on the areas typically prone to wear on this model that the MOT may have overlooked. Check for structural rust on the sills and chassis, and inspect the condition of the clutch and flywheel given the high mileage. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items that do not appear on an MOT certificate but are essential for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
