2013 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · RS60 DAZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 117,504 miles passed with only a minor failure for an inoperative nearside plate lamp. This follows two years of clean records in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within tolerance limits during recent inspection intervals. At 117,504 miles over 13 years, the Transporter has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 2,200 miles covered between October 2023 and August 2024, and another 900 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front drivetrain, as the 2022 test at 110,160 miles flagged both nearside and offside front drive shaft CV boots as severely deteriorated. While these were likely rectified given the subsequent clean passes, one must check for grease leakage or torn rubber currently which would indicate imminent joint failure. The 2021 advisory regarding worn rear tyre edges at 106,615 miles suggests a past alignment issue or uneven wear pattern that should be verified against the current state of the tyre set. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check of the chassis for structural integrity and corrosion corrosion remains essential, as the MOT record does not detail hidden structural weaknesses. The lack of recurring advisories in the last three tests suggests the previous owner has been proactive in addressing faults before they escalated. Focus the in-person inspection on suspension bushes and brake components to ensure the high-mileage status has not introduced significant mechanical play.
