2006 VOLKSWAGEN T-SPORTER T32 130 TDI LWB2.5L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass in March 2025 at 145,319 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. The vehicle failed tests in February 2025 and August 2023, but successfully passed shortly after each failure. This suggests the owner addresses faults once they are flagged by a tester rather than maintaining the vehicle in a state of constant readiness. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,266 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 12,872 miles between April 2022 and November 2023, followed by another 10,219 miles in the sixteen months leading up to the 2025 test. This steady rate of use indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which is generally better for a T-Transporter than long periods of sitting that can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion despite the low odometer figures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as T-Transporters of this era are prone to significant corrosion in hidden areas. While the recent record shows no advisories, the previous failures suggest that components such as suspension bushes or braking hardware may be nearing the end of their functional life. Given the age and mileage, inspect for oil leaks around the turbocharger and check the condition of the drive belts to ensure the recent clean MOT is not masking underlying mechanical wear.
