2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · RF16 PXH

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test in March 2026 at 74,680 miles resulted in a pass, although it identified a defective nearside rear tyre with a cracked inner wall. This indicates that while the mechanical components are meeting standards, consumable items are beginning to require attention following the clean records in the 2024 and 2025 tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between January 2022 at 42,690 miles and March 2026 at 74,680 miles, the vehicle has covered 31,990 miles. This steady rate suggests moderate usage which typically reduces the accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension compared to high-mileage commercial vans. The lack of defects in the mid-period of this timeline suggests that the previous owners did not subject the vehicle to heavy strain or neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres, as the record shows a recurring issue with perishing and damage. The 2023 test flagged cracking on both front tyres, while the 2026 test found a more serious structural crack in the nearside rear. This trend suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods or use low-quality rubber compounds, leading to dry rot despite low annual mileage. Given the absence of recorded structural or brake faults in the history, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion and the suspension bushes for wear remains advisable to ensure no hidden issues have developed between tests.
