1988 Volkswagen Transporter Electric · F867 HCH

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-04-24 with recorded mileage of 103,103 miles. However, a nearside front play in the steering rack inner joint(s) and corroded nearside front outer integral body structure are noted. Despite these issues, the vehicle's overall roadworthiness status remains intact. The maintenance trend appears to be worsening, with recurring corrosion and mechanical faults being reported over the past few years. The vehicle's mileage pattern is notable for its low annual mileage, averaging approximately 2,713 miles per year. This is lower than expected for a vehicle of this age, suggesting lighter use or extended periods of inactivity. However, the lack of a significant gap in recorded mileage suggests that the vehicle has been regularly maintained and used over the years. The most recent mileage increase from 100,683 miles to 103,103 miles is relatively modest, indicating a stable usage pattern. The MOT history highlights several recurring faults that should be inspected in person by a potential buyer. The corroded nearside front outer integral body structure is a concern, and the buyer should verify the extent of the corrosion and assess the structural rigidity of the sill. Additionally, the nearside front play in the steering rack inner joint(s) should be investigated, as this could indicate worn or damaged components. The buyer should also inspect the suspension and steering components, including the front lower suspension arm ball joint, which was noted as having slight play in the 2023 test. A thorough inspection of the vehicle's brakes is also recommended, particularly the nearside front brakes, which have been flagged for binding in the past. The buyer should verify the condition and function of the brakes, including the brake discs, pads, and calipers. Overall, while the vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test, the recurring faults and corrosion noted in the history suggest that it requires careful inspection and potential maintenance to ensure its continued roadworthiness.
