1991 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER1.9L Petrol

The Volkswagen Transporter shows a current roadworthy status via the 22 October 2025 MOT pass at 165,131 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend across the five available tests is stable, with annual passes from 2022 through 2025 interrupted only by a failure on 15 October 2024 at 163,777 miles that itself carried no listed defects. That most recent clean certificate sits roughly nine months prior to today's date, indicating the vehicle entered 2026 with valid compliance. Odometer data reveals low yearly use for a 35-year-old commercial vehicle. The 12 October 2022 test at 159,032 miles and the 9 October 2023 test at 161,700 miles show 2,668 miles added in twelve months. By 25 October 2024 at 163,790 miles the gain was 2,090 miles, and the final recorded stretch to October 2025 added just 1,341 miles. Such sparse accumulation points to light duty or prolonged storage. The keepers sustained continuous testing, and the unexplained October 2024 failure reversed within ten days with no defects logged suggests an administrative or non-mechanical cause rather than neglected upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive mechanical and structural elements despite the absent advisories. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or fracture. Check brake discs and calipers for binding, and verify exhaust emissions remain within tolerance for the engine type. Assess structural integrity closely for corrosion on chassis members, sills, and underbody mounts, since MOT passes on an older vehicle do not preclude developing rust. The low mileage implies gentler wear, but standing periods can accelerate rubber degradation and surface oxidation.
