2009 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · CY58 HBZ

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 26 January 2026 at 189,497 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The January 2026 test came only three days after a failure on 23 January 2026 at the same mileage, yet the failure recorded no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. This pattern repeats from the prior year, where a failure on 23 January 2025 at 174,611 miles was followed by a pass on 28 January 2025 at identical mileage with no defects logged. The odometer shows 189,497 miles against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 11,147 miles per year, which is typical for a 17-year-old light commercial vehicle. Mileage advanced from 156,101 at the August 2023 test to 174,611 by January 2025, then to 189,497 by January 2026, reflecting steady annual use of around 14,000 to 15,000 miles with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories, corrosion notes, or component wear flags across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as the MOT history records no advisories that would reveal latent wear. The repeated defect-free failures with immediate re-tests imply the previous owners addressed paperwork promptly but the record offers no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep such as tyres or wiper blades. Verify structural integrity underneath for rust and check exhaust emissions during a cold start, since the clean MOT data does not confirm these were examined in depth.
