1988 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.1L PETROL

The 1988 Volkswagen Transporter has a recorded mileage of 124,467 miles, which is low for its age, suggesting it may have been used infrequently or stored for long periods. This can lead to issues with components degrading due to lack of use. The most recent MOT on 2020-09-09 resulted in a pass, but there was a minor defect noted: a brake pipe that was corroded and covered in grease or other material. This indicates potential issues with the braking system, which is a critical safety component. Looking at the MOT history, there are some recurring issues. The exhaust system has been a point of concern, with the back box being corroded in 2018 and an exhaust emission failure in 2019. These issues suggest that the vehicle's exhaust system may be deteriorating, which could lead to more frequent and costly repairs. The trend in the MOT history appears to be somewhat stable, with the vehicle passing more often than failing. However, the defects noted, particularly with the exhaust and brakes, indicate that these systems need close attention. The low annual mileage might mean less wear on moving parts, but it also suggests that the vehicle may not have been regularly maintained, leading to potential hidden issues.
