2004 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · CU54 SCX

The Volkswagen Transporter passed its most recent MOT on 7 December 2022 at 333,450 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemish being a failure two days earlier on 5 December 2022 at 333,430 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded retest rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly 22 years old, the van shows 333,450 miles, equating to about 15,157 miles per year, which is high for its age and points to sustained commercial or fleet use. The record jumps from 326,707 miles at the 14 September 2021 test to 333,430 miles by December 2022, a modest 6,723 miles over fifteen months. Sparse entries and a clean pass in 2021 followed by the no-defect fail and pass in late 2022 give little evidence of rapid accumulation or long standing periods, though the sparse testing leaves gaps in the wear picture. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as high-mileage Transporters of this era commonly suffer hidden rust despite passing emissions and brake checks. The tester flagged no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust, but the 333,000-mile odometer means consumable mechanical parts are heavily aged. Verify the December 2022 failure cause with DVSA paperwork, since a no-defect fail is irregular and may mask a missed item.
