2009 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · RO59 ADU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on March 30, 2026 at 215,690 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving; while the vehicle failed tests in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes show clean records without advisories. This suggests the previous owner addressed identified faults immediately to bring the vehicle back into compliance with DVSA standards. The Transporter has accumulated significant mileage over its 17-year life, averaging approximately 12,688 miles per year. The data shows consistent high-frequency usage, with 9,619 miles covered between May 2024 and April 2025, and another 9,696 miles covered between April 2025 and March 2026. This regularity indicates the vehicle was likely used for regular commercial or long-distance transit, which accelerates the wear on drivetrain and suspension components compared to stationary vehicles. Despite the clean recent pass, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension assembly. High-mileage Volkswagen Transporters of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and floor pan sections. Given the previous test failures in 2024 and 2025, the inspector should specifically check for signs of worn suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these components frequently reach the under the heavy loads associated with this mileage profile.
