1KZ-TE with 250,000km on them are probably less likely to break down that an 25k mile VW TDI. We thrashed the daylights out of three of them, one had over 300k km on the clock, and the only thing I ever saw go was a starter motor.
I think the bigger problem is living with the shit interiors. I'm not sure you'd even be able to find one in the UK. You're right, a beater Transporter is probably a bit of a liability.
