Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seeking a relatively modern Transporter. The recent MOT history shows a clean record despite a single failure in late 2025.
When inspecting this 1.9L diesel Transporter, focus on the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump intervals have been respected, as these are critical for the TDI engine. Given the 2025 MOT failure at 45,823 miles, ask the seller for clarification on what caused that specific failure, even though no defects were listed in the digital record provided.
As a 1968cc diesel, this vehicle is designed for efficiency, though running costs will depend heavily on load and driving style. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a modern Euro 6 diesel van. Tax and insurance groups will vary based on the specific SE trim and driver profile, but generally, these models sit in mid-range brackets.
Check the underside of the vehicle for signs of wear or corrosion, which is common in commercial vehicles. Since the MOT history shows a failure in December 2025 just one day before a pass, verify that the specific issue was rectified immediately. Inspect all lighting, wiper blades, and tyre tread depths, as these are common areas for advisories in the Transporter range.
This 2021 silver Volkswagen Transporter SE TDI S-A has covered 45,828 miles since its registration in March 2021. The MOT history is largely clear, with three consecutive passes and one failure recorded in December 2025. Given its age, the mileage appears to be consistent with typical commercial use for this model.
No aggregate MOT data is currently available for the Volkswagen Transporter SE TDI S-A to provide a specific reliability trend.
