2005 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · WR55 OCV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. Following a test in November 2022 at 272,348 miles, the transporter passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met minimum standards at that time. While the history shows previous failures in 2018 and 2020, the owner consistently addressed the necessary repairs to achieve a pass in subsequent tests. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a high-use commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per annum. Between November 2018 and November 2020, the vehicle covered 9,088 miles, followed by another 9,583 miles in the two-year period leading up to the 2022 test. Given that the current date is June 2026, the MOT is now over three and a half years out of date. This significant gap in testing suggests the vehicle has been driven for many miles beyond its legal limit without a professional safety roadworthiness assessment. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as high-mileage Transporters of this era are prone to deep corrosion in the sills. Although the record does not detail specific mechanical failures, the high mileage implies significant wear on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Check the braking system for signs of binding calipers or heavily scored discs, as the long elapsed time since the last recorded test increases the likelihood of fluid degradation and component corrosion.
