2006 Volkswagen TR-Porter T28 102 TDI SWB 1.9L Diesel · VLZ 8674

The Volkswagen Transporter T28 achieved a clean pass on 14 April 2025 at 156,280 miles with no defects recorded, confirming roadworthy status at that examination. The underlying trend is irregular rather than steadily stable because the history includes two failed tests that listed no faults. A pass in January 2024 and June 2022 brackets those anomalies, suggesting mechanical condition stayed acceptable even if administrative outcomes varied. Odometer readings show 138,419 miles at the 29 June 2022 pass, rising to 149,023 by 10 January 2024 and 156,280 by the April 2025 pass. That spread equates to roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles per year, squarely typical for a 2006 light commercial vehicle. The June 2022 fail on the 20th at 138,255 miles converted to a pass nine days later after just 164 miles; the April 2025 fail on the 8th preceded the final pass by six days with mileage unchanged in the supplied data. Such clustering implies short remedial intervals or paperwork corrections rather than heavy use. Because no advisories or defects appear in any entry, the buyer must treat the record as incomplete for wear assessment. Front suspension bushes, coil springs and track rod ends on a two-decade-old Transporter often degrade silently. The tester recorded no binding calipers or corroded structures, but physical inspection of brake disc wear, exhaust emissions under load and underbody structural integrity is essential. The two failure results with no defects logged warrant a DVSA data check to confirm whether genuine faults were omitted. Previous keepers likely kept the van to a basic pass standard, yet the sparse history gives little insight into consumable replacement cycles.
