2009 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · YX59 ACF

The vehicle appears roadworthy based on the most recent MOT record from May 21, 2024, where it passed with no defects recorded at 147,507 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed its tests over the last few years without any recorded advisories for mechanical wear or structural failure. The mileage is typical for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,677 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2022 test at 140,517 miles and the May 2024 test at 147,507 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 3,500 miles per year over that specific period. This suggests the vehicle has not been subject to extreme long-term standing or excessive heavy-duty usage recently. The MOT history is unusually clean for a Volkswagen Transporter of this age. The record shows two failures in March 2022 and April 2023, yet no specific defects were logged in the data provided for those failures. This lack of detail makes it difficult to identify recurring mechanical trends. The absence of any flagged corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc deterioration in the pass certificates is positive, though atypical for a 2009 model. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check the chassis and sills for surface rust and inspect the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers. Given the age and mileage, verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these critical engine components are not checked during a standard MOT.
