2004 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · JIG 6027

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 17 October 2024 at 159,622 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has secured clean passes for the last three consecutive annual inspections. While the record shows immediate re-tests following initial failures in October 2023 and October 2024, the absence of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor, easily rectified issues that did not warrant formal documentation in the tester notes. The recorded mileage of 159,622 over twenty-two years averages approximately 7,250 miles per annum, which is consistent with light to moderate usage for a commercial-based platform. The data shows steady, incremental usage patterns between December 2022 and October 2024, with roughly 11,000 miles covered in that twenty-two month window. This indicates the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than suffering from prolonged periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on areas not fully captured by the MOT test, specifically the condition of the drivetrain and the structural integrity of the chassis. Given the age of this Transporter, check the underside for signs of corrosion or previous welding repairs, as the current clean test history does not account for cosmetic or non-structural rust. Inspect the suspension bushes and ball joints for play, as these components frequently wear on heavier vehicles of this vintage. Verify the operation of the clutch and gearbox, as these high-mileage consumables are prone to fatigue regardless of a clean MOT pass.
