2009 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · KM59 FDG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT on 19 December 2025 with 206,552 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner promptly rectified a fractured offside front coil spring identified just three days prior during the failure. The transition from a mechanical failure to a clean-sheet pass suggests the current owner is reactive to safety-critical defects rather than allowing them to persist into further degradation. At 17 years old, this 2009 Transporter has covered a significant distance of approximately 12,150 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage over the recorded intervals, with roughly 700 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 700 miles in the twelve months leading up to the latest test. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting, which typically means predictable wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to low-mileage examples. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the broken coil spring recorded in late 2025 indicates that metal components may be reaching the end of their fatigue life. Given the high mileage, close attention must be paid to structural corrosion on the chassis rails and sills, which are not yet flagged in the advisories. While the history shows minor electrical issues like an inoperative registration lamp, the focus should remain on the integrity of the mounting hardware and the condition of the brakerelated points under high-mileage stress.
