1988 Volkswagen Transporter 112 2.1L Petrol · LXI 5684

The vehicle holds a current and valid MOT certificate issued on 15 October 2025 at 100,372 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The record shows a clean pass with no defects noted, which suggests the Transporter has been maintained to a functional standard over the recent testing cycle. The brief failure recorded two days prior to the final pass appears to be a procedural or administrative anomaly rather than a reflection of mechanical deterioration, as no specific faults were logged during that inspection. With an average annual usage of approximately 2,641 miles over its thirty-eight-year lifespan, the vehicle displays a low-mileage profile consistent with light or seasonal use. The odometer readings show a steady, incremental progression from 95,091 miles in September 2023 to the current 100,372 miles. This consistent, albeit limited, usage pattern is generally preferable for a vehicle of this age, as it avoids the risks associated with long-term storage, such as seized mechanical linkages, fuel system degradation, or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on areas not typically captured by the MOT test, specifically looking for signs of structural corrosion in the chassis rails, wheel arches, and floor pans, which are common failure points for this model. While the recent MOT history is clear of advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of the cooling system hoses, electrical wiring harnesses, and suspension bushings for signs of dry rot or perishing. Prioritize an assessment of the drivetrain and gearbox for smooth operation, as the low mileage may mask wear in synchromesh or clutch components that would only manifest during a road test.
