2022 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI
CarHunch analysed 2,972 real MOT records for the 2022 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI passes its MOT on the first attempt 84.9% of the time, which is a solid 4.9 percentage points above the UK average of 80%, suggesting this is a reliably built work van. The dangerous defect rate of 4.5% is low and well under the warning threshold, so safety concerns are minimal for this cohort.
At a median mileage of 32,770 miles for a two-year-old vehicle, these Transporters are running light by commercial standards, which helps explain the strong pass rate. The average of just 0.21 failures per vehicle and 0.7 advisories per vehicle indicates that when problems do surface, they're typically minor wear items rather than structural issues—but before buying, ask the seller for a full MOT history to confirm this particular van hasn't been clocking up serious defects on repeat tests.
What to check before buying a 2022 Volkswagen Transporter T28 Startline TDI
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
