Volkswagen Transporter T30 Highline TDI (2022)
2022 Volkswagen Transporter T30 Highline TDI
CarHunch analysed 1,212 real MOT records for the 2022 Volkswagen Transporter T30 Highline TDI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2022 Transporter is a solid performer, with an 87.5% first-time pass rate that sits comfortably above the UK average of 80%—and the diesel variant shows no weakness there. Only 3.9% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is well below concern threshold, so safety isn't a red flag here.
At just under 36,000 miles on average, these vans are running light for their age, which partly explains the low failure rate of 0.16 per vehicle. The 0.7 advisories per vehicle suggests minor wear is appearing (likely suspension and trim items on a commercial workhorse), so budget for small maintenance as mileage climbs—but grab a pre-purchase inspection focused on brake condition and any play in the steering, the most common advisory triggers for this platform.
What to check before buying a 2022 Volkswagen Transporter T30 Highline 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.
