2009 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · AIJ 100

The 2009 Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 142,483 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year run of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old van. The records show 109,054 miles in the 5 October 2021 test, rising to 115,127 by 28 September 2022, 126,305 on 23 October 2023, 133,872 on 14 October 2024, and 142,483 on 9 October 2025. That is a steady 6,000 to 9,000 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean sheet across all five tests means no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion were ever logged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the vehicle. The MOT record offers no evidence of structural rust, binding calipers, or worn suspension components, but testers only flag what is immediately actionable. At 142,483 miles the original dampers, brake discs, and subframe mounts will carry seventeen years of age regardless of test results. Given the sparse but consistently clean history, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. The absence of repeated tyre-tread or lighting failures suggests routine care. Verify service records and inspect for hidden chassis corrosion before purchase, as the MOT data alone cannot confirm long-term mechanical condition.
