2021 Volkswagen Transporter T30 TDI 2.0L Diesel · SC21 MXX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a specific mechanical failure. The most recent test conducted on 4 June 2025 at 100,317 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year were addressed. This suggests the owner is responsive to MOT failure requirements once they are flagged by the tester. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per annum. Between the June 2024 test and the June 2025 test, the vehicle covered 18,874 miles in just over a year. This rapid accumulation is consistent with consistent heavy-duty use, likely commercial work or long-distance transit, which naturally accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, given the 2024 failure for an excessively worn nearside front Macpherson strut ball joint at 81,439 miles. While this specific part was replaced, high mileage puts significant stress on the control arms, tie rod ends, and coil springs which may be nearing the end of their service life. Checking the brake system for signs of caliper binding or thin discs is also essential as high annual mileage often correlates with accelerated thermal wear on braking components.
