2001 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · CW51 DXG

The 2001 Volkswagen Transporter’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-10 at 188,880 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on 2025-09-08 at 188,867 miles, which also showed no defects. The pattern of annual tests since 2023 indicates consistent maintenance, with no significant issues flagged in the latest assessment. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears stable, though the near-consecutive pass and fail results suggest potential administrative inconsistency or minimal technical concerns that resolved quickly. The mileage of 188,880 miles over 25 years aligns with an average of 7,555 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for the model. The 2023 tests on 2023-09-12 recorded the same mileage for both a pass and a fail, raising questions about data accuracy or repeated testing without intervention. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 show gradual mileage increases, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps, indicating regular operation. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than left stationary for prolonged periods. A buyer should conduct a hands-on inspection of the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in older vans. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but older models like this may still require scrutiny of brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust can develop in high-mileage vehicles. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the lack of detailed defect descriptions limits insight into potential hidden issues.
