2004 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · YF04 YHP

The 2026‑01‑27 MOT, conducted at 231,696 miles, passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the Transporter remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend with no evidence of worsening faults. Mileage has risen gradually over the past three years: from 228,892 miles on 23 November 2023 to 229,655 miles on 18 November 2024 (763 miles), then to 229,665 miles the following day (+11 miles), and finally to 231,696 miles on 27 January 2026 (+2,031 miles over 14 months). The incremental increase aligns with typical annual usage of roughly 10,500 miles for a 22‑year‑old vehicle and reveals no abrupt mileage spikes or extended periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, verify that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion that could compromise integrity. Checking the condition of the exhaust system, confirming that the recent passed test covered all items, and assessing tyre tread depth and overall component wear will provide a clear picture of the vehicle’s true mechanical state beyond the documented MOT results.
