2009 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · B763 JAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear progression of suspension and way wear. While the most recent test in August 2025 passed at 100,920 miles, it revealed multiple advisories regarding worn suspension arm bushes and shock absorber bushes, alongside a minor exhaust leak. This follows a period of failure in 2024, indicating that the rubber components are reaching the end of their service life and require way mechanical attention. At approximately 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 100,920 miles is low, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in testing history between March 2022 and March 2023, during which the vehicle covered approximately 3,000 miles. The low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial use, but the deterioration of rubber components and the pitting of brake discs are common in low-mileage vehicles that experience age-related decay rather than high-distance wear. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front suspension assembly, as the arm bushes and ball joint dust covers have been flagged across three consecutive years. The 2024 failure highlighted fluctuating service brakes and a rough wheel bearing, suggesting that the braking system components and hubs may have suffered from corrosion due to low use. Additionally, the minor exhaust leak noted in the 2025 test should be monitored to ensure it does not develop into a significant failure, and the side step should be checked for secure mounting following the previous issues in 2023.
