2006 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · MH06 VHK

The 2006 Volkswagen Transporter remains roadworthy, having passed the latest MOT on 15 July 2025 at 236,586 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the five-year record, with annual tests returning passes aside from a contradictory fail entry logged on 5 July 2024 at 227,937 miles that also noted no defects. This anomaly suggests an administrative quirk rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage advanced from 207,767 at the 15 July 2022 test to 217,681 by 14 July 2023, then 227,937 on 5 July 2024, reaching 236,586 by July 2025. Annual increments of 9,914, 10,256 and 8,649 miles sit slightly under the lifetime average of 11,829 miles per year. The keeper maintained continuous testing with no gaps beyond twelve months, implying steady but not heavy use for a two-decade-old commercial vehicle. The DVSA ledger flags no recurring faults, advisories or structural concerns across suspension, brakes, exhaust or corrosion. A clean sheet at this age and mileage is rare. A buyer should still inspect in person the front coil springs, rear suspension bushes and brake disc wear, as these components endure high cycle loads on a Transporter. Check the subframe and sill structure for rust that a visual MOT might miss. The consistent passes indicate previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the absence of any minor tyre or wiper advisories hints the tests may have been brief. Given the 2024 dual entry, verify the vehicle's exact status via DVSA before purchase. An independent mechanical inspection remains prudent to assess drivetrain fatigue beyond MOT scope.
