2004 Volkswagen Camper VAN 1.6L Petrol · WX04 DJV

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on July 7 2025 at 127,941 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, where minor mechanical failures were identified and rectified. While the history shows intermittent reactive repairs, the most recent clean sheet suggests the current owner is addressing identified advisories before they escalate into failures. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 127,941 miles reflects a low annual average of approximately 5,800 miles. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, with roughly 2,200 miles covered between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests. This low mileage generally indicates less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the age of the vehicle often leads to the gradual degradation of rubber-based parts regardless of distance, which aligns with the specific issues noted in the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and rubber components due to recurring issues. The July July 2024 test flagged damaged track rod end ball joint dust covers on all four wheels, and the 2023 record highlighted perishing and cracking rear tyres. These are signs of age-related dry rot rather than high-mileage wear. You must check for further cracking in tyre sidewalls and inspect the integrity of all rubber boots and bushings. Given the age of the camper, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is also essential, as the MOT record does not provide detail on deeper rust levels that often affect older Volkswagen vans.
