2011 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · RJ11 LGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive repair pattern rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in February 2025 at 134,672 miles showed a pass following a failure just the previous day. This failure identified a worn nearside rear anti-roll bar bush, a binding rear brake, and a deteriorated offside front CV boot. While these issues were rectified, the recurring nature of mechanical failures suggests that the owner only addresses defects when strictly necessary to pass the MOT test. At 134,672 miles over 15 years, the Transporter averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an older commercial vehicle. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between January 2023 and February 2024, and another 3,500 miles between February 2024 and February 2025. This steady mileage indicates the vehicle does not sit for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and mechanical components. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The record flags a binding nearside rear brake in early 2025, which often indicates a sticking caliper or worn slider pins that can cause uneven pad wear. The deteriorated offside front inner CV boot also warrants a thorough check for grease leakage and joint damage, as these lead to expensive drivetrain failures. Furthermore, the previous failure for low tyre tread in 2023 suggests that basic consumable maintenance may be neglected, necessitating a check of the current tyre tread depth and wear patterns.
