2009 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · YG09 VPD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean MOT record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 146,155 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a period of consistent passes in 2024, 2023, and 2022, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting minimum safety and emissions standards without immediate mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a Volkswagen Transporter of this age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between August 2022 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 8,064 miles, showing a steady and predictable accumulation rate of roughly 2,700 miles annually. The failure recorded in August 2022 at 138,091 miles was rectified immediately to allow a pass that same day, suggesting a specific issue was addressed promptly rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect. While the digital history is clean, a prospective buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the 2009 chassis. Transporters of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and rear suspension mounting points, which are not always highlighted until they become structural failures. Given the age and mileage, the buyer should also evaluate the wear on suspension bushes and check for signs of binding brake calipers, as these components are common points of degradation that the MOT test may not always capture in detail.
