2004 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · YM04 NKA

The 2025‑10‑01 MOT at 206,553 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record despite earlier failures on the same day. The recent pass suggests the vehicle has been maintained consistently since the previous test. Mileage has risen from 185,142 miles in May 2023 to 206,553 miles by October 2025, an increase of roughly 21,411 miles over two and a half years, or about 8,600 miles per year, which aligns with the typical 9,400 miles per year for a 22‑year‑old van. The interval between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests covered 10,530 miles, showing regular usage rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, examine the brake discs for scoring, and look for any structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches, as these components have shown recurring concerns in earlier records. While the latest test shows no immediate failures, the pattern of intermittent brake and suspension issues implies that a thorough physical examination of these areas is essential before purchase.
