2006 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER1.9L Diesel

This Volkswagen Transporter presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 115,289 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its previous attempt on 7 August 2025, the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a minor administrative or easily rectified issue that was resolved within a week. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 5,764 miles per year. Between July 2022 and August 2025, the odometer moved from 109,003 to 115,289 miles. This represents a consistent, low-use pattern of approximately 2,000 to 2,300 miles annually over the last three years. Such low usage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension but can lead to issues with perished rubber components or stagnant fluids. The absence of advisories across the last five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age. No recurring faults regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear in the data. The lack of mentioned corrosion is a positive sign, though the record does not explicitly confirm a physical inspection for structural rust in common Transporter chassis areas. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Inspect the tyre dates for age-related cracking and check for any signs of seizing in the brake calipers due to the low annual mileage. Verify the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these are interval-based services that the MOT record does not track. A manual check for underbody corrosion remains essential given the vehicle's age.
