1991 Volkswagen Transporter 2.1L Petrol · H644 EUD

The vehicle presents a stable and commendable maintenance record, having secured four consecutive clean passes in the most recent annual inspections. The pass on 23 May 2025 at 139,985 miles confirms the vehicle is currently roadworthy and free of recorded defects. While the 19 May 2022 test resulted in a failure, the subsequent pass the following day suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. This recent history indicates a high standard of upkeep by the current keeper. With 139,985 miles covered over 35 years, the vehicle averages approximately 4,000 miles per annum. This low usage rate is typical for a classic Transporter, though it requires scrutiny for signs of long-term storage. The lack of recurring advisories across the last four years is atypical for a vehicle of this vintage, suggesting that either the owner has been proactive with preventative maintenance or the vehicle has seen minimal road exposure. The consistent mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2025 confirms the van remains in regular, light service. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook hidden rot in the chassis rails, sills, and wheel arches of older Volkswagen commercial vehicles. Despite the clean test record, examine the suspension bushes and steering joints for perished rubber, as these components degrade with time regardless of mileage. Check the cooling system and rubber fuel lines for signs of hardening or leaks, as these are common failure points for vehicles that experience extended periods of inactivity. A thorough under-vehicle inspection remains essential to verify that the absence of MOT advisories reflects genuine condition rather than superficial cosmetic treatment.
