1991 Volkswagen Transporter 2.4L Diesel · J433 NLU

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 287,535 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits close to the expected norm for a 35-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 8,200 miles per year. The records show no gaps or sudden accumulation: the tester logged 281,000 miles in February 2022, 282,332 in February 2023, 283,731 in March 2024, 286,911 in March 2025, and 287,535 in February 2026. The sparse, fault-free history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work across this period. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural corrosion on the chassis and underbody, given the age and salt-exposure risk on a 1991 panel van. Although no advisories flag suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, components at this mileage may exhibit fatigue not captured in a pass result. Verify service history and check for binding calipers or worn exhaust emissions control during a road test. The clean MOT record implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current, but 287,535 miles demands scrutiny of drivetrain wear the annual test does not measure.
