2008 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · RJ58 EWD

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 25 September 2025 at 74,465 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes in 2023, 2024 and 2025 once minor administrative test anomalies are set aside. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear in the data. The recorded mileage of 74,465 against an 18-year-old 2008 vehicle equates to a low average of roughly 4,137 miles per year. The record shows 70,044 miles on 19 April 2023, rising to 71,958 by 28 May 2024 and 74,465 by September 2025, a gentle annual accumulation of under 2,500 miles. Such low use suggests prolonged standing periods are likely, though the sparse, clean test history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely static intervals. Standing vans commonly develop corrosion on structural members and underbody seams even when MOT tests log no defects. The two failed entries from 19 April 2023 and 22 September 2025 carry no recorded defects, indicating clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault, but the absence of advisories means tyre condition, wiper function and exhaust emissions were acceptable only on the day of each test. Given the clean record, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The low mileage and repeated no-defect outcomes imply careful, light use rather than hard commercial duty. Verify service history and check for hidden rust before purchase, as MOT cleanliness at this age does not confirm structural perfection.
