2021 Volkswagen Transporter T30 TDI 2.0L Diesel · SD71 XNY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 24 November 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the vehicle failed the initial re-test on that same day due to a leaking offside rear hydraulic brake caliper. The fact that this defect was rectified immediately to secure a pass suggests the current owner is willing to address safety-critical failures once identified by the tester. The Transporter has covered 72,949 miles over five years, averaging an annual mileage of approximately 14,600 miles. This high usage profile is typical for a commercial vehicle but places significant stress on heavy-duty components. Between the December 2024 test at 56,203 miles and the November 2025 test, the vehicle clocked 16,746 miles in under eleven months, indicating consistent and heavy operational use. The 2024 advisory regarding a slightly distorted nearside front road wheel further supports the narrative of frequent impact or curb damage associated with high-mileage cycles. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the rear caliper replacement has not caused uneven wear on the discs or pads. Given the previous report of a distorted wheel, the front suspension geometry and wheel hub bearings should be checked for signs of play or misalignment. The high mileage also necessitates a close look at the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the mounting points and exhaust hangers, as high-mileage Transporters often experience accelerated degradation of rubber bushings and metal integrity.
