2009 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · CX09 WLG

The 2009 Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 149,666 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. The July 2024 entry shows a failed test on 19 July at 147,249 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 17 year old van. The record runs from 137,146 miles at the 28 July 2022 test through 142,976 miles in July 2023, 147,249 miles in July 2024, and 149,666 miles in July 2025. That equates to roughly 4,100 miles between 2022 and 2023, then about 4,270 and 2,400 miles in the following years, all below the 8,800 mile per year average. The sparse five entry history with zero advisories across three years suggests light use and a previous owner who kept the vehicle minimally exercised rather than worked hard. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis and around suspension mounting areas, as the MOT record carries no advisories that would reveal hidden rust or worn suspension bushes. Given the age and the unexplained July 2024 fail-pass pair, verify the V5C and DVSA failure reason to confirm it was clerical. Check brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions during a cold start, since the tester logged no binding calipers or leaks but long low mileage spells can mask stale fluid and flat spotted tyres.
