Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
Given the high mileage and the specific failures noted in the MOT history, you should request a full service history to see how often the 1968cc diesel engine has been maintained. Pay close attention to any evidence of recent work regarding the exhaust system and the rear suspension arms, as corrosion has been a recurring advisory and failure point for this specific vehicle.
Negotiate based on the frequency of repairs needed for suspension and braking components. It is also advisable to check the condition of the shock absorbers and anti-roll bar linkages, as these were flagged in previous tests. Ensure that any recent repairs mentioned in the MOT history have been supported by professional invoices.
As a 2.0L diesel Transporter, fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but expect typical van figures for this engine size. Tax and insurance groups for a 2014 Transporter vary, so you should obtain a specific quote using the RE64AEB registration.
Maintenance costs for this model can be higher than average due to the complexity of the suspension and exhaust systems. Based on the MOT history showing multiple issues with brakes, tyres, and suspension, you should budget for regular mechanical upkeep. The estimated annual running cost is likely to be higher than a standard passenger car.
A thorough inspection of the underside is essential, specifically looking for the progression of exhaust corrosion and the condition of the rear suspension arms, which were previously noted for corrosion. Check the shock absorbers for any signs of fluid leaks, as a serious leak was recorded in the April 2025 failure.
Additionally, inspect the front anti-roll bar linkage and the condition of the tyres. The 2023 MOT noted multiple cuts in the tyre tread surfaces, so ensure the current set is within legal limits and free from damage. Finally, check the brake pads and discs, as thinning pads were an issue in the 2023 record.
This purple 2014 Volkswagen Transporter has covered 149,737 miles since its first registration in November 2014. The MOT record reveals recurring issues with exhaust corrosion and suspension components, including a failure in April 2025 for shock absorber leaks and anti-roll bar linkage issues. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026, the history indicates consistent maintenance requirements for wear-and-tear items.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Volkswagen Transporter model to provide a comparative baseline.
