Our Verdict
This 2021 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Highline TDI presents a strong value proposition with its clean MOT history and low mileage for its age. A cautious buyer should prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection but will find little cause for concern.
Verify the service history to confirm regular maintenance, particularly for the 1.968L TDI engine which can develop injector or EGR valve issues in older examples. Negotiate based on the low 30,386-mile reading – this is 15-20% below the typical 5-year mileage for commercial vehicles. Check for any unrecorded modifications, as the Highline trim often receives aftermarket upgrades that may affect resale value.
Diesel vans like the Transporter T28 typically fall into a mid-to-high insurance group (around 15-20). Fuel economy averages 35-40 mpg on the open road, though urban driving will reduce this. With a 1.968L engine, road tax would be £2,000 annually for commercial use. Maintenance costs remain moderate, but expect £500-£800/year for scheduled services and potential diesel particulate filter maintenance.
Focus on the engine management system for potential DPF or EGR faults common in 1.968L TDI units. Check for corrosion around the chassis and body seams, as vans are prone to rust in UK conditions. Inspect the transmission for unusual noises during gear changes and test the four-wheel drive system if equipped. Review the brake system thoroughly, as van brakes wear faster due to higher weight.
The vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record across three consecutive annual tests, with mileage well below average for a 5-year-old van. While no aggregate reliability data exists for this specific model, the absence of recorded defects suggests a well-maintained example. The grey colour and 1.968L diesel engine align with typical T28 specifications.
No aggregate MOT data available for this model, but the Transporter T28 range is generally regarded as durable for commercial use when properly maintained.
