2016 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · RV66 XOY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 June 2026 at 125,717 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of inconsistency in mid-2025. While the vehicle failed the test on 6 June 2025 at 107,690 miles due to non-conforming registration plates and a faulty windscreen washer, these minor issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass. The Transporter shows a high-usage profile, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between May 2023 (79,071 miles) and June 2026 (125,717 miles), the vehicle covered over 46,000 miles in just three years. This consistent, high mileage suggests regular commercial or motorway use, which typically accelerates the wear on suspension components and drivetrain parts. The regular annual testing intervals indicate the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay attention to the oil leak noted during the June 2025 test. Although described as not excessive at the time, persistent leaks on high-mileage engines require monitoring to ensure seals or gaskets are not degrading toward a failure. The rear brake pads were flagged thin in 2023, so a physical inspection of the current pad thickness and disc condition is necessary to ensure they have been replaced as required. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and the suspension bushes is vital, as these are common points of failure on this model at this age.
