2006 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · KA06 BUS

The 2006 Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 15 April 2025 at 68,850 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests on 23 April 2024 at 65,249 miles and 6 May 2023 at 62,980 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 68,850 against an age of nearly twenty years, equating to roughly 3,442 miles per year. The DVSA data spans 61,090 miles on 10 May 2022 through to the 2025 figure, a gentle accumulation of under 8,000 miles across three years. A failed test on 3 May 2023 at 62,980 miles preceded the pass three days later with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. Low annual use can mask perished rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyres even when the MOT shows no advisories. Verify the brake calipers are free and the coil springs show no fatigue. The absence of recurring defects implies previous owners maintained basic upkeep, though the 2023 fail with no recorded defect warrants confirmation the vehicle was correctly presented. Given the clean trail, mechanical risk appears low, but age-related wear on consumables remains the principal concern for a used-car purchaser.
