2007 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · PD07 AND

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 12 June 2025 at 172,280 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of inconsistency regarding compliance. The vehicle failed its test just two days prior to the successful pass in 2025, and more notably, it suffered two failures in June 2024. While the most recent result indicates the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, the recurring failures suggest the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when forced by the MOT tester rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 10,043 miles, which represents a standard annual usage profile for a Transporter. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, but the rapid succession of failures and passes in June 2024 between 162,201 and 162,292 miles indicates that specific faults required immediate rectification within a very short window. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components due to the age and high mileage of this model. Volkswagen Transporters are prone to structural corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and rear mounting points. Because the record does not list the specific reasons for the previous failures, the history of multiple failures suggests that issues such as worn suspension bushes, leaking shock absorbers, or exhaust corrosion may be recurring. Check for signs of fluid leaks and inspect the integrity of the brake lines, as these are common points of failure on vehicles in this mileage bracket.
