2012 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · T111 AAF

The MOT record for this 2012 Volkswagen Transporter presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness history. Every test from September 2022 through the most recent pass in October 2025 at 74,797 miles returned no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable and well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by testers. The single failure in October 2023 at 68,942 miles recorded no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural issue rather than a genuine mechanical problem. The mileage pattern shows consistent low usage. At roughly 5,343 miles per year, this van has covered about half the average annual mileage for its age. The gaps between tests reveal steady accumulation: from September 2022 at 67,430 miles to October 2025 at 74,797 miles, the vehicle gained only 7,367 miles over three years. This suggests light, possibly seasonal use rather than daily commercial operation. No rapid mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity are evident from the record. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still inspect for age-related deterioration common to a fourteen-year-old Transporter. Check suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links for cracking or play, as rubber components degrade over time regardless of mileage. Brake discs may show surface corrosion from standing periods, and the handbrake mechanism should be tested for binding. Examine the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear axle mounting points and chassis rails, as these areas can suffer in older vans. The lack of recorded faults is encouraging, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains essential.
