2009 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · YN58 OHJ

The 2026‑04‑16 MOT at 33,558 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend despite earlier suspension advisories. The vehicle has now passed three consecutive tests since 2023, each showing no new faults, which suggests that any previous wear has been managed without escalation. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 33,558 equates to roughly 1,974 miles per year, a figure well below the average for a vehicle of this age and pointing to light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The mileage record shows steady growth from 21,413 miles in 2017 to 33,558 in 2026, with the most recent 630‑mile jump between the failed and passed 2024 tests, while earlier intervals such as 2021‑2024 added only about 2,700 miles over three years, reinforcing the low‑usage pattern. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, verify that the central front lower undertray does not obstruct engine access, and examine the rear exhaust box and silencer for structural corrosion noted in 2018 and 2017 failures. Particular attention must be given to the rear wheel bearing play recorded in 2021 and 2020, the condition of the brake discs and calipers for any binding or uneven wear, and the functionality of the stop lamps and wiper blades, all of which have generated prior advisories.
