2014 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · RK64 WFN

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable, showing a sharp worsening trend in maintenance standards. While it passed its most recent test on 3 June 2026 at 169,059 miles, this followed a comprehensive failure just eleven days prior. The May 2026 failure revealed a significant list of neglected issues, ranging from basic equipment failures to serious structural integrity concerns. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a multi-point failure in 2026 suggests a recent breakdown in routine preventative maintenance. At 169,059 miles over twelve years, this Transporter averages a high mileage of approximately 14,000 miles per year. The data shows a rapid accumulation of 17,711 miles between September 2023 and June 2026. This high rate of use places immense strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The presence of serious fluid leaks in shock absorbers and rough wheel bearings in the 2026 test indicates that the vehicle is being driven to the failure point of heavy-duty components rather than being replaced at standard service intervals. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the offside rear sill and suspension arm mounts. The May 2026 record flagged excessive corrosion and perforation that significantly reduces structural strength, which is a critical safety risk that requires professional welding to repair. Furthermore, the front suspension arm pins and bushes were noted as worn in the latest pass. Although these did not result in excessive movement this time, the high mileage suggests they are nearing the end of their functional life. The vehicle also shows signs of operational neglect. The driver's door mechanism failed to operate from both sides, and the windscreen washer system was non-functional. The inability to inspect rear seat belts due to obstructed seating suggests a lack of attention to basic safety checks. Any purchaser should verify that the structural repairs to the sill were completed to a professional standard and that the shock absorbers and wheel bearings have been replaced, as the previous record indicates they were in a state of failure.
