VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2017 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-25 at 109,030 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating no immediate roadworthiness concerns. However, the preceding day’s test on 2025-04-24 at 109,001 miles showed a failure with no recorded defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor issue unresolved. The prior four MOTs from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, implying a stable maintenance record. No recurring mechanical or structural issues are evident in the history, but the abrupt failure without explanation warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 109,030 miles at 9 years old equates to an average of 12,114 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. A significant jump from 88,034 miles in 2022 to 109,030 miles by 2025 suggests accelerated wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain. While no defects were recorded, high mileage increases the likelihood of hidden wear in consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or exhaust systems. The absence of advisories or failures in prior tests may reflect diligent maintenance, but the rapid accumulation raises questions about long-term reliability. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates these components’ degradation. Check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, and verify the exhaust system for leaks or rust. The failed MOT without defects highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm no unresolved issues. Despite the clean MOT history, the vehicle’s usage pattern and recent anomaly suggest cautious evaluation of mechanical integrity beyond recorded data.
