2023 Volkswagen Transporter T32 H-Line TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · X3 AGE

A dangerous tyre defect is the defining feature of this vehicle's limited testing history, which resulted in a pass on 27 January 2026. The failure was specifically due to the offside front tyre tread falling below the legal 1.6mm limit, while the nearside rear tyre was recorded as worn close to the legal limit. This represents a critical failure of a safety-critical consumable, though it was rectified on the same day to achieve the pass certificate. The recorded mileage of 14,690 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 4,897 miles per year. This low accumulation typically means that the primary drivetrain and structural components have experienced minimal wear. However, the fact that tyres reached a dangerous state of wear despite the low overall mileage suggests that the wear may be attributed to factors other than distance, such as alignment issues or specific driving conditions. Prospective buyers should conduct a detailed physical inspection of all four tyres to ensure they have been replaced with quality components and exhibit even tread wear across the width of the tyre. Particular attention should be paid to the inner and outer edges of the front tyres to check for scrubbing. During a test drive, the vehicle must be assessed for any steering pull or vibration, as these symptoms, combined with the previous tyre failures, could indicate a requirement for a full four-wheel alignment or the replacement of worn suspension components.
