2009 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · BF09 OWX

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-09 recorded a pass at 207,575 miles, but several critical issues were noted. The windscreen had a chip not affecting visibility, while rear suspension and exhaust showed slight corrosion. A nearside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit and had edge wear, indicating uneven tread degradation. These findings suggest ongoing wear on tyres and corrosion-prone components, which are common in high-mileage vehicles. The prior MOT on 2026-04-08, just one day earlier, resulted in a failure. Key issues included a missing offside rear reflector, a seriously damaged obligatory mirror, and a severe fuel tank leak posing a fire risk. Additional failures included corroded suspension, a corroded exhaust, and tyres near the legal limit. The fuel leak and mirror damage represent significant safety hazards, while the repeated tyre wear highlights potential alignment or suspension issues. Looking further back, the 2024-07-18 MOT failed due to multiple brake and structural problems: missing wheel fixings, imbalanced brakes, and an ABS fault. These issues indicate poor maintenance or underlying mechanical stress.
