2004 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · CX04 PFZ

The 2004 Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 169,485 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also closed as passes with no advisories. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the five-year span reviewed. Mileage sits at 169,485 on the latest test, equating to roughly 7,700 miles per year since registration, which is typical for a 22-year-old light commercial. The odometer moved only 3,455 miles between the November 2022 test at 161,368 and the November 2025 test at 169,485, indicating low annual use in later life. A single anomaly appears on 7 November 2024 where the tester issued a fail and a pass on the same day at 166,030 miles, both with no defects listed; this points to an administrative or data-recording error rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. Given the clean MOT history with zero advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the previous keeper clearly kept the vehicle to a basic pass standard. The absence of flagged wear does not confirm component condition, only that nothing breached test limits on the day. A buyer should still inspect in person for early fatigue not yet notifiable: check front suspension arms and track-rod ends for play, examine brake calipers for sticking, and probe sills and chassis legs for hidden rust. The same-day fail-pass in November 2024 warrants a V5C and test certificate check to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise the van shows no worsening pattern and reflects steady, light-use ownership with no skipped tests.
