2007 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · WG57 UGX

The 2025‑05‑21 MOT at 142,063 miles passed with no defects, confirming the vehicle is currently roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend, as earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 also recorded no defects despite occasional failures on the same dates. Mileage has risen from 135,926 miles in June 2023 to 142,063 miles by May 2025, an increase of roughly 6,137 miles over 23 months, or about 2,500 miles per year, which is lower than the typical 7,500 miles per year for a 19‑year‑old van and suggests periods of reduced use; the intervals between tests show consistent, moderate accumulation rather than rapid mileage gain. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding, inspect the brake discs and calipers for corrosion, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis rails, as these components have shown recurring issues in the earlier records.
