1991 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Petrol · H703 GCM

The 2025-06-12 MOT at 269,682 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance record shows a stable trend. Earlier tests from 2023 through 2025 also displayed no defects, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage progression from 259,153 miles in May 2023 to 269,682 miles in June 2025 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 7,700 miles, consistent with the vehicle's 35‑year age and typical usage patterns; the intervals between tests are regular, with only a four‑mile increment before the final inspection, indicating no evidence of sudden high‑mileage accumulation or long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore focus on the vehicle's suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, as well as the condition of brake discs, calipers and pads, since these components are prone to wear on high‑mileage vans; visual inspection for structural rust, particularly around the chassis rails and wheel arches, and verification of exhaust emission compliance are also advisable given the age. While the MOT history shows no recorded defects, a thorough physical examination of the aforementioned items, together with a check of tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, will confirm whether the apparent stability in the record translates into genuine mechanical soundness.
