2007 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · SW07 ABU

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on September 27, 2025 at 142,541 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improvement compared to previous years, as the vehicle formerly suffered failures in both 2023 and 2024. The most recent inspection recorded no defects or advisories, indicating that the previous owner has successfully addressed the mechanical issues that previously prevented the vehicle from passing test. At a recorded 142,541 miles over 19 years, the Transporter has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent mileage pattern, with 6,000 miles covered between September 2023 and August 2024, and another 6,000 miles between August 2024 and September 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is in regular use rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and brake components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024. While the record does not list the specific reasons for those failures, the recurring nature of the issues suggests components that were nearing the end of their service life. Given the age and mileage of this Transporter, a thorough check of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and mounting pans, is essential. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and brake lines to ensure that the recent pass reflects genuine preventative maintenance rather than a temporary fix.
