VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2017 · 2.0L DIESEL

The Volkswagen Transporter passed its most recent MOT on 15 October 2025 at 119,562 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy today. The maintenance trend shows a recurring but resolved pattern: the same two fault categories appeared in consecutive annual tests yet were cleared by the latest pass. This suggests the previous owner addressed outstanding issues only when forced by failure, rather than through proactive servicing. The van has covered roughly 13,285 miles per year since its 2017 build, a high annual figure for a Transporter of this age. Mileage jumped from 84,098 at the October 2023 pass to 100,916 at the September 2024 failure, then to 119,562 by October 2025, an accumulation of about 35,000 miles in two years. No long standing periods are evident; the record shows consistent heavy use across the period. The engine malfunction indicator lamp triggered both failures, on 23 September 2024 and 14 October 2025, pointing to an unresolved emissions or engine-management fault that was presumably repaired before the final pass. A buyer should verify the diagnostic trouble codes are cleared and confirm the repair was substantive, not a lamp reset. The near-side front tyre wore to the legal limit in 2024 and the near-side rear showed exposed ply by October 2025, with the near-side front again below 1.6mm at that failure. This repeated neglect of tyre condition implies basic consumable checks were skipped. No suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or structural integrity defects appear in the history. The absence of advisories across all passes indicates the chassis and running gear have been clean for test purposes, though a physical inspection of brake calipers and underbody for rust remains prudent given the mileage.
