1992 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Petrol · J26 VAJ

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 7 October 2025 at 146,224 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening faults across the available history, with the three most recent annual tests all returning passes and no advisories logged. Recorded mileage sits at 146,224 against a 1992 build, an average of roughly 4,300 miles per year. The vehicle covered only 1,199 miles between the September 2023 test at 143,025 miles and the October 2025 test at 146,224 miles, indicating extended periods of little use. Two failed tests appear on 24 May 2023 and 26 September 2023 at 143,011 and 143,025 miles respectively, yet the DVSA record shows no defects cited for either failure, a pattern that suggests administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, given the age and low-use profile that promotes standing moisture damage. The brake discs, suspension bushes and coil springs warrant hands-on checks for degradation from intermittent use, as MOT passes with no advisories do not measure component life remaining. The clean recent record implies the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance, though the twin 2023 failures with no listed defects leave the exact cause unresolved. Verify the vehicle's standing history and confirm the 2025 pass reflects genuine condition before purchase.
