2017 Volkswagen Transporter 2.0L Diesel · BK66 AEG

The Volkswagen Transporter presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 December 2025 at 282,406 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the two earlier failures in early 2023 and February 2024 showing no defects logged against the vehicle, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or worn components appear in any entry, which indicates the recorded tests found nothing requiring attention at the time. The mileage pattern reflects heavy commercial use for a nine-year-old van. The record shows 262,092 miles on 11 January 2023, rising to 276,649 miles by 9 May 2024 and 282,406 miles by December 2025. That equates to an average of roughly 31,000 miles per year, with a noticeable slowdown in the final period where only about 5,700 miles accumulated across nineteen months. The sparse record, with just five tests and two of those being same-week failures, gives limited visibility of consumable replacement cycles, though the clean pass results imply no outstanding wear was flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high lifetime mileage and the lack of advisory data to confirm their condition. The February 2024 and January 2023 failures with zero defects recorded warrant checking the test centre documentation, as repeated no-defect failures can mask omitted checks or clerical rejection. Structural corrosion around chassis mounting points and the rear subframe should be physically examined, since the MOT entries never listed it and a van of this age and use may conceal rust not captured on a pass.
