2015 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · VO65 LWL

The overall roadworthiness status for this 2015 Volkswagen Transporter is non-compliant and requires urgent mechanical intervention, specifically focusing on the suspension and braking systems. The vehicle failed on two separate occasions between September 2023 and October 2025, with the most recent failure occurring in October 2025 at 155,474 miles, marking a significant gap in MOT history. The maintenance trend is characterized by a rapid accumulation of mileage over a three-year period, which suggests that the owner has been neglecting routine servicing despite the vehicle's age. The first failure was caused by an insecure ball joint ball joint dust cover, while the second failure involved oil misting in the shock absorbers and a failed engine MIL indicating a mechanical malfunction. The mileage accumulation is severe, with the vehicle reaching 155,474 miles in October 2025 alone, representing a loss of approximately 11 years of recorded mileage in just two years. This rapid growth indicates that the owner has likely been driving the vehicle for extended periods without any formal maintenance or servicing. The lack of MOTs in 2024 and 2023 creates a significant risk that the vehicle is in a state where structural integrity and critical components have degraded, necessitating a comprehensive inspection. Given the recurring faults involving the suspension bushings, ball joints, and brake discs, the buyer must inspect in person for signs of rust, binding calipers, or structural corrosion. The history of a failed engine MIL and a failed registration lamp lamp indicates that the drivetrain is likely compromised, requiring a full diagnostic to rule out corrosion or damage to the engine block. The vehicle is not roadworthy and requires immediate professional assessment to prevent further deterioration and potential safety hazards.
