2009 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · AD09 HFS

The Volkswagen Transporter passed its most recent MOT on 25 June 2025 at 204,911 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle clearing every recorded pass test without advisories and showing no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. At roughly 17 years old the van has covered 204,911 miles, equating to about 12,054 miles per year, which is high for its age and points to sustained commercial or regular long-distance use. The record shows only 1,693 miles added between the November 2023 test at 201,372 miles and the June 2024 failure at 202,218 miles, then just 2,692 miles up to the June 2025 pass. Two failed tests on 4 June 2024 and 10 June 2025 were logged with zero defects recorded, meaning the failures stemmed from administrative or presentational issues at the test centre rather than mechanical condition. The clean MOT sheet gives no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions problems across any entry. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity underneath the chassis and load floor, as Transporter vans of this mileage often develop hidden rust at sill and crossmember joints not caught in a standard test. Given the high mileage and two non-mechanical failures, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current but the repeated test anomalies suggest loose record-keeping. In-person checks should confirm brake caliper operation, coil spring condition, and tyre sidewall cracking before purchase.
