2006 Volkswagen TP 2.5L Diesel · GA54 CON

The most recent MOT on 3 February 2025 was a clean pass at 322,398 mi, showing no recorded defects at that test. The only recorded fault was a failure on 29 December 2023 at 311,125 mi, where the rear tyre tread was below the legal 1.6 mm limit and the front drive‑shaft CV joint boot was severely deteriorated. Both items were rectified before the next test, as the 2024 and 2025 MOTs passed with no further comments. The pattern points to two distinct wear areas: tyre tread and CV‑joint protection. The failure was isolated to a single MOT and has not re‑appeared, suggesting the issue was addressed rather than an ongoing deterioration. Overall the MOT trend is stable, with three consecutive passes after the one failure. At 322,398 mi for a 20‑year‑old 2006 VW Transporter the annual average is about 16,000 mi, which is high for its age. This mileage level indicates considerable wear on consumables, suspension components, brakes and drivetrain parts. It does not, however, prove continuous hard use; periods of low use could be hidden in the total figure, so the mileage signal is somewhat ambiguous. For a buyer the priority checks are: - Inspect all tyre tread depths, especially the rear, and confirm the tyres are within legal limits and have even wear.
