2008 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · CP57 KUC

This Volkswagen Transporter demonstrates a consistent roadworthiness record, having passed all four MOT tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 28 April 2025—just under three years ago—confirmed the vehicle met all DVSA standards at 106,993 miles, a trend that remains unchanged across the preceding tests in February 2024, February 2023, and February 2022. While the absence of faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, the lack of advisories or minor issues does not imply proactive servicing, only that no critical failures were detected at each test cycle. The recorded mileage of 106,993 miles over 18 years—roughly 5,944 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests are consistent, with roughly 3,200 miles accrued between each MOT, suggesting the vehicle has likely been stored or used sparingly during periods. There are no abrupt jumps in mileage that would indicate aggressive driving or neglect, though the prolonged gaps between tests—particularly the 12-month span between the 2022 and 2023 inspections—could imply extended periods of non-use, potentially accelerating wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to static loading. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested. Focus on the suspension, particularly the condition of the rear coil springs and bushes, as prolonged low-mileage use can cause them to dry out and crack. The brake system warrants scrutiny, especially the rear calipers and discs, which may exhibit binding or uneven wear if the vehicle has been left stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, where corrosion could have developed despite the lack of recorded defects. Tyre condition, despite not being faulted in MOTs, should be verified for uneven wear or excessive tread depth variation, as this could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Finally, check for fluid leaks—brakes, power steering, and coolant—around the engine bay and transmission, as these are not typically caught in a standard MOT.
