2008 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · CY08 OSN

The Volkswagen Transporter presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 2 November 2022 at 150,057 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable in the absence of recorded defects across its recent tests. The vehicle cleared its final examination without advisories, though the preceding October 2022 failure at 149,534 miles and the September 2021 failure at 138,212 miles both list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults at those points. Mileage stands at 150,057 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,336 miles per year which is typical for this age of light commercial vehicle. The gap between the 1 October 2021 pass at 138,481 miles and the 2 November 2022 pass shows only 11,576 miles added in thirteen months, a modest accumulation. Records are sparse with four entries across two years and no advisories logged, so the data offers limited insight into wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion given the vehicle's 2008 build and salty-road exposure risk over eighteen winters. The clean MOT sheets do not confirm condition of coil springs, steering joints, or exhaust emissions systems beyond the test-day snapshot. Given two failures with no defects recorded, previous owners likely presented the van late or with paperwork discrepancies rather than neglecting mechanical care. Verify service history and inspect brake calipers and underbody for binding or rust before purchase.
