2008 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · GU58 ABO

The Volkswagen Transporter passed its most recent MOT on 29 November 2023 at 302,800 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle holds a valid pass, though the test is now over two and a half years old relative to today's date of 18 July 2026, meaning roadworthiness cannot be assumed without a fresh examination. Mileage sits at 302,800 against an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 16,800 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to sustained commercial or fleet-style use. The record shows steady annual accumulation: 292,472 miles at the November 2021 failure, 297,302 by November 2022, and 302,800 by November 2023. No gaps or sudden jumps appear, but the data is sparse, with only five entries spanning 2021 to 2023 and a complete absence of tests before late 2021, leaving earlier wear undocumented. Two failed tests on 15 November 2021 at 292,472 miles and 28 November 2023 at 302,798 miles both list no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical rejection. The immediate subsequent passes with zero advisories suggest the previous owner addressed whatever paperwork or minor presentation issue existed without latent faults carrying forward. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and structural corrosion given the high mileage and the missing pre-2021 history. Drivetrain components on a 302,800-mile Transporter warrant close scrutiny even where the MOT shows a clean sheet, as the test does not assess internal engine or gearbox condition.
