2009 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · YT09 FCA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent history. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 73,084 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on that same day, the immediate pass without listed defects suggests a minor item that was quickly rectified prior to the retest. Since 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean test sheet, indicating consistent adherence to basic standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old Transporter, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. Between February 2023 (52,962 miles) and February 2026 (73,084 miles), the vehicle covered 20,122 miles. This consistent low-frequency usage often implies less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals. However, low-mileage vehicles are prone to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid seals which do not always manifest through mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to time-related wear in low-mileage environments. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the structural integrity, specifically the chassis rails and mounting points, is essential to identify any hidden corrosion. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking or fatigue, as these materials perish over time regardless of the distance travelled. Additionally, checking the calipers for signs of seizing or pitting will ensure the low usage has not caused the braking system to stagnate.
