2020 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · VW04 BES

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy; the 14 May 2026 MOT at 60,008 miles recorded a pass with no defects noted. Over the past three years the record shows a stable trend – earlier advisories on coil‑spring corrosion, brake wear and wiper‑blade defects have not re‑appeared, indicating that any remedial work undertaken has held. At six years old the van has accumulated 60,008 miles, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per annum. The mileage progression – 21,731 miles in May 2023, 32,836 miles in May 2024, 47,515 miles in May 2025 and 60,008 miles in May 2026 – reflects a consistent annual increase of about 12–13 k miles, a pattern typical for a light‑commercial vehicle of this age. No large mileage gaps suggest regular use rather than prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should verify that the coil springs, previously flagged for corrosion on all corners in the 2024 test, show no active rust or compromised integrity, especially at mounting points. Although the 2024 MOT noted thin front outer brake pads and pitted discs, the 2026 test recorded no defects; a visual and tactile inspection of pads and discs is still advisable to confirm they remain within safe limits. The wiper blades, which generated advisory failures in 2024 and 2025, should be checked for proper operation and blade condition, and the rear seat‑belt check mechanism, noted as unable to be inspected in 2025, must be confirmed functional. Finally, a brief look for any oil seepage around the front engine area, as previously reported, will ensure the earlier minor leak has not progressed.
