2009 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · WR59 LLE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 30 June 2025 at 25,795 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all regulatory standards. This follows a single failure in June 2023 which was rectified immediately to achieve a passing result, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing MOT failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old Trans, averaging approximately 1,517 miles per year. Data shows a significant usage gap between July 2022 and July 2023, where the vehicle covered only 4,941 miles in twelve months. Since then, usage has remained consistent, with increments of roughly 650 to 800 miles per year. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, such long periods of standing can lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation during low-mileage storage. Check for brake caliper seizing and corroded discs, as infrequent use often causes pistons to lock up. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyrealls should be examined for cracking or dry rot despite the low mileage. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for hidden rust, as vehicles of this era are susceptible to surface corrosion regardless of how many miles they have driven.
