2009 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · F20 JAP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The latest MOT test conducted on 21 November 2025 at 159,508 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and late 2023, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle sufficiently to pass annual inspections. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and November 2024, the vehicle covered 15,933 miles, showing a steady usage rate. A more recent interval shows between November 2023 and November 2025, where the vehicle clocked 10,841 miles. The failure recorded on 22 November 2023 followed immediately by a pass on the same day indicates a specific mechanical or equipment issue that was rectified promptly rather than a chronic mechanical neglect. Despite the clean records in recent years, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for the T5 Transporter of this age. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the chassis sills and rear mounting points for structural corrosion is essential, as structural integrity often degrades over decades. The state of the suspension bushes and wish arms should be prioritized, as these components frequently show wear at 150,000 miles which may not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical state of play.
