2018 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · X60 LAD

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 March 2026 at 61,825 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety standards. While the history shows intermittent failures in previous years, the transition to clean passes suggests that the previous owner addressed and rectified the mechanical issues identified by the DVSA testers. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old Transporter, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the vehicle covered 10,052 miles, followed by another 6,339 miles leading to the March 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of seals and the prevention of corrosion in rubber components. Despite the current clean record, the failures in April 2024 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle requires specific intervention to maintain compliance. Since the provided data does not list the specific mechanical reasons for those failures, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the common failure points for this model. Focus specifically on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, the presence of surface corrosion on the brake discs, and the structural integrity of the chassis sills and mounting points to ensure that previous faults are not recurring due to underlying wear.
