2008 Volkswagen Transporter 1.6L Diesel · NK04 DUB

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 101,141 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since late 2022. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 101,141 miles against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,619 miles per year. The test on 7 March 2025 captured 97,092 miles and the 31 October 2023 test showed 93,522 miles, confirming low annual use with no rapid accumulation. A single failed test appears on 9 November 2022 at 89,184 miles, yet the record lists no defects and the vehicle passed the very next day on 10 November 2022 at identical mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion across all entries suggests previous owners kept the van to a sound standard for its low mileage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as a long-standing vehicle can hide surface corrosion or binding not caught in a clean MOT. Given the 2008 build and periods of light use, check for perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from standing.
