2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · RF16 PXJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on March 16, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent failure just four days prior to that pass indicates a specific mechanical intervention was required. In the March 2026 test at 69,719 miles, the van failed due to ABS and electronic stability control fault lamps alongside a minor oil leak. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects. The mileage profile is consistent for a ten-year-old Transporter, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Usage patterns align with typical light to medium demand for a commercial vehicle. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the vehicle covered 2,989 miles, while the interval between 2024 and 2025 saw an increase to 4,203 miles. This steady accumulation suggests predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension components rather than periods of long stationary storage or sudden high-mileage cycles. A buyer should personally inspect the engine bay to verify that the oil leak flagged in March 2026 has been professionally sealed and is not actively weeping. Given the previous ABS and stability control faults, a diagnostic scan is advisable to ensure the fault codes have been cleared and that no intermittent signals remain. While the MOT history is clean of structural advisories, a physical check of the chassis for corrosion and the suspension bushes for wear remains essential as these are common points of failure for this model at this age.
