2006 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · FL56 LJF

The 2026‑03‑12 MOT confirms the 2006 Volkswagen Transporter remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 164,458 miles. The series of annual tests shows a stable maintenance record; the only minor issue prior to the latest test was an inoperative offside rear registration lamp in 2025, which was corrected before the 2026 inspection. Mileage has risen steadily from 106,736 miles in March 2013 to 164,458 miles in March 2026, averaging about 8,200 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s age and typical usage. The interval between the 2024‑03‑18 failure and the 2024‑03‑20 pass demonstrates rapid remediation, and no large periods of inactivity are evident in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components that repeatedly showed deteriorated ball‑joint dust covers and cracked suspension arm rubber bushes from 2018 onward, inspect the ABS and SRS warning lamps for lingering faults, examine the condition of the rear brake pads and discs indicated by thin wear in 2016‑2017, and verify tyre wear patterns and any signs of structural rust around the chassis and suspension mounting points.
