2022 Volkswagen Transporter T30 ST Line TDI SA
CarHunch analysed 151 real MOT records for the 2022 Volkswagen Transporter T30 ST Line TDI SA. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This Transporter T30 diesel is a solid performer: an 88.8% first-time pass rate beats the UK average of 80%, and only 4.6% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. The van's reliability picture is straightforward—owners average just 0.13 failures and 0.8 advisories per MOT, suggesting these are well-sorted work vehicles.
At 34,892 miles average for a two-year-old van, these examples have seen proper use but aren't run into the ground, which aligns with the low failure count. If you're buying one, check the service history carefully and budget for preventive work on wear items like brakes and belts, but don't expect major structural surprises.
What to check before buying a 2022 Volkswagen Transporter T30 ST Line TDI SA
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.
