1997 VOLKSWAGEN LT2.5L Diesel

The Volkswagen LT presents a current roadworthy status following a passed test on 11 July 2024 at 117,953 miles, with the recorded history showing a stable maintenance trend and no outstanding defects. The vehicle cleared its final examination without advisory or failure entries, indicating acceptable condition at that point. Prior to this, the tester issued two failed tests on 8 July 2024 at 117,952 miles and 7 June 2024 at 117,950 miles, yet recorded no defects against either. This pattern implies administrative or documentation rejection rather than mechanical fault, though the DVSA data does not specify the cause. At roughly 29 years old, the LT shows 117,953 miles on the odometer, equating to about 4,067 miles per year. The three 2024 entries sit within a 34-day window and cover only three miles between them, confirming extremely light recent use. No earlier MOT rows exist in the supplied record, so long-term accumulation and any gaps before June 2024 remain unverified by this dataset. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, given the vehicle's 1997 build and potential for hidden rust in chassis rails and sills unseen by the MOT screen. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for age-related degradation from prolonged standing. The clean defect list offers no evidence of recurring mechanical faults, but low mileage combined with a 29-year lifespan often masks perished rubber components and seized calipers that a static test may not reveal.
