2008 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · CX08 WUP

The 2008 Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 131,151 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old van. The record shows 123,012 miles in August 2021 rising to 131,151 by July 2025, an increase of 8,139 miles across four years or roughly 2,035 miles per year. This low annual use contrasts with the lifetime average of 7,286 miles and points to light duty or extended standing periods. The DVSA history contains no gaps and no advisories, so the dataset is sparse but clean. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on chassis rails and sills, given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity that accelerate rust. The tester logged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the record, yet consumable wear such as tyres and wiper blades cannot be assessed from a fault-free pass alone. Previous owners appear to have maintained the Transporter to a basic roadworthy standard with no recurring mechanical faults or failed tests. The absence of advisories suggests either diligent upkeep or superficial test scrutiny, so a pre-purchase check of binding calipers and underbody condition remains prudent before commitment.
