2009 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · CV09 CCZ

The 2009 Volkswagen Transporter presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 238,371 miles passed with no defects recorded, following four consecutive annual passes. The maintenance history shows no escalating faults and no outstanding advisories across the available record. Mileage stands at 238,371 over roughly 17 years, averaging 14,022 miles per year, which is high for the vehicle's age and points to sustained commercial or high-use operation. The record moves cleanly from 213,720 miles on 16 June 2022 to 221,674 miles at the failed test on 26 June 2023, then 221,675 miles on 30 June 2023, 229,333 miles on 19 June 2024, and 238,371 miles on 23 June 2025. Annual accumulation stays near the long-run average with no abrupt jumps. The June 2023 failure carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor cause rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the mileage and age. The clean MOT slate does not exempt a 238,000-mile Transporter from consumable wear or hidden structural fatigue. The June 2023 fail with zero recorded defects warrants a check of the test centre paperwork to confirm no suppressed advisory. Pre-purchase checks should prioritise drivetrain condition, clutch wear, and exhaust emissions against the high annual use. Previous keepers kept the test schedule regular, which implies basic statutory compliance, but the sparse defect data limits insight into ongoing maintenance depth.
