2008 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2.5L Diesel

The vehicle is in a stable and exemplary state of roadworthiness based on its MOT history. The most recent test on 2 December 2025 at 11,772 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has seen very little stress. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2008 model, averaging roughly 654 miles per year. Between the November 2021 test at 8,414 miles and the December 2025 test at 11,772 miles, the vehicle covered only 3,358 miles over four years. Such low usage suggests the van has spent significant periods stationary, which often presents different mechanical risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Long periods of inactivity can lead to perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and flat spots on tyres. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and sills, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from moisture traps if not driven regularly. Verify the condition of the engine oil and coolant to ensure they have been changed according to time intervals rather than mileage. Inspect the battery health and fuel system for signs of stagnation. While the MOT record is flawless, the lack of recorded wear on suspension bushes or brake discs is a result of minimal use rather than active refurbishment.
