2007 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · NN02 BEX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward addressing age-related corrosion and wear. The most recent test in September 2025 at 107,619 miles identified corrosion on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. While the tester noted these components were not yet seriously weakened, the presence of surface corrosion on the hub assemblies and all brake discs indicates that the vehicle is beginning to succumb to environmental factors despite its low annual mileage. At a recorded 107,619 miles, this 19-year-old Transporter has averaged approximately 5,664 miles per year. This low-usage pattern often leads to components seizing due to inactivity, which explains the significant surface rust noted in the latest inspection. Between May 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered only 2,109 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary time that likely contributed to the split offside front inner drive shaft constant velocity boot that caused the initial September 2024 failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front geometry to determine the depth of the corrosion on the suspension arms. The split CV boot from 2024 should be checked for grease leakage and internal damage to ensure the drive shaft has not suffered premature failure. Given the reported surface corrosion on the brake discs and hubs, the braking system should be evaluated for pitting or uneven wear that might require immediate replacement of rotors to ensure safe stopping performance.
