2012 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · RJ12 CPK

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history in its most recent inspections. The September 2025 test at 146,184 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of passing tests since 2022, suggesting that the previous owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the vehicle covered approximately 36,691 miles, averaging roughly 12,230 miles per year. This aligns closely with the calculated annual average of 10,442 miles for a 14-year-old vehicle. The data shows steady usage rather than long periods of standing or excessive high-speed motorway transit. The single failure recorded on 2023-09-06 at 121,752 miles was immediately rectified, as evidenced by the passing result on the same date. Because the recent records show no advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, the vehicle appears structurally sound from a regulatory standpoint. However, the high mileage of 146,184 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the drivetrain and chassis. A buyer should focus on inspecting the underbody for corrosion, particularly on the subframes and exhaust system, which is common for Transporters of this era. Given the mileage, a mechanical check of the timing belt, water pump, and various rubber bushings is advisable to ensure they have been replaced according to manufacturer intervals. While the MOT record is clean, it does not account for the service history of these wear-and-tear components.
