1987 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.1L Petrol

The 1987 Volkswagen Transporter presents a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 101,978 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 14 February 2024 at 101,972 miles also showed a clean sheet. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening faults across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 101,978 against nearly 39 years of age, averaging roughly 2,615 miles per year. The tests show almost no accumulation: 101,968 miles at the failed test on 25 April 2022, 101,970 at the pass later that same day, 101,972 in February 2024, and 101,978 in June 2025. Such low, flat mileage implies long periods of storage rather than active use. A gap exists between the 2022 and 2024 entries with no 2023 test logged, but the data itself remains sparse and clean throughout. The only blemish is the failure on 25 April 2022 at 101,968 miles, which the record lists with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, with an immediate pass granted the same day. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in any entry. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and hidden rust on chassis rails and outriggers given the vehicle's age and likely standing periods. Check suspension components, brake calipers, and fuel lines for degradation from inactivity. Confirm the 2022 failure cause with the test station, as the blank defect field warrants verification before purchase.
