2004 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · YH54 ACY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a consistent passing record despite occasional minor test failures. The most recent inspection on 14 May 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just five days prior at the same mileage. This pattern suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing immediate non-compliance issues identified by the DVSA tester, indicating that the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition relative to its service history. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2025, the transporter covered roughly 6,100 miles, confirming a trend of low-intensity usage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long intervals between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as bushes, seals, and tyres, which may suffer from age irrespective of the distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical in-person inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Transporters of this era are prone to significant corrosion over time. Since the MOT history does not list specific mechanical adviseories like suspension play or brake thinning, it is vital to manually check for play in the arms and signs of seized artwork components. Given the low annual mileage, also verify the condition of the fluid and the age of the tyres to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect.
